Russian drone raid kills 1 in Ukraine's Odesa, Kyiv repels missile attack
One person was killed in Russian drone attacks on a port district in Ukraine's southwestern Odesa region while Ukrainian air defence successfully shot down a barrage of Russian missiles fired at targets in the capital Kyiv, officials said. The night-time attacks on Odesa's Izmail district lasted three hours, regional Governor Oleg Kiper said on the Telegram messaging app early on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, one person died," said Kiper, adding that it was an agricultural worker who had been seriously injured and died in hospital. "Destruction and fires were recorded in several settlements," he added, saying that port and agricultural infrastructure had been damaged, including administrative buildings. The Danube river port of Izmail, which borders NATO member Romania, has become a main export route for Ukrainian agricultural produce since Russia's withdrawal from a United Nations-brokered grain deal in July.
