In the dead of night on May 25, the Russians launched a combined missile and drone air attack that killed one person and injured three others.

According to the head of the Odesa City Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak, only four people were initially reported injured in the attack, one of whom was in serious condition, but later one of the victims died in hospital.

As of 7:00 a.m. on May 26, the municipal services had completed the liquidation of the aftermath of the evening attack in the residential sector. In five houses, where the shock wave smashed about 50 windows, all the work has been completed. A school was also damaged, with 47 windows broken. Due to the complexity of the work, special equipment was brought in to close all the window openings as soon as possible.

The combined air attack launched by the Russians in the evening and on the night of May 23 did not spare Odesa's blast. Nine people were wounded in the attack, including three children aged 8 to 12.

Seven of the injured were taken to hospitals. Doctors assessed the condition of one of the adults as serious, while the children are in moderate condition. All relevant services are working at the scene. The injured were provided with medical aid. The enemy was aiming at the bridge in Mayaky, but the missile hit the recreation center.
