On Sept. 29, Russian forces attacked infrastructure overnight and into the morning, triggering a fire that emergency crews extinguished. Six people were injured in attacks in the city, with two remaining hospitalized, according to local authorities. The wider Odesa district also came under attack that night. Residential buildings, an animal shelter, a production facility, warehouses, a gymnasium and a dormitory were damaged, along with cars and trucks. Eight people were injured. A day earlier, on Sept. 28, a Russian strike tore into a high-rise residential building in Odesa, destroying an apartment on the 12th floor and damaging the façade, balconies and windows on floors below. Four people, including a child, were ultimately reported injured. The attacks followed another deadly strike on Sept. 25, when two people – a 40-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man – were killed and two others injured. Russian strikes that day also damaged a private home, warehouses and a postal terminal in the Odesa area, with fires breaking out at several locations.
