Russia launched a barrage of drones on the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, hitting energy infrastructure and leaving at least 160,000 people without heat in sub-zero temperatures, according to a statement Wednesday by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
The drone strike injured four people, including a child, and caused widespread power outages, cutting off heating supplies to around 500 residential buildings, 13 schools, a kindergarten and several hospitals.
The temperature in the Black Sea port is currently around minus 6 degrees Celsius (21.2°F).
"Rescue operations are underway in Odessa after another Russian attack on energy infrastructure," Zelenskiy said on the Telegram app.
The Ukrainian military said Russia launched 167 drones during overnight attacks on the southern Odessa region and other regions across the country. Air defense units and mobile drone-hunting groups shot down 106 of them, the military said.
