On the afternoon of August 1, Russian occupiers continued their drone attacks in the Odesa region. In the Podilskyi district, two young children were injured in the attack; one of them is in serious condition.

This was reported by Oleg Kipper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.

According to Kipper, a 12-year-old girl and her 6-year-old brother were injured as a result of the attack by enemy drones.

Both children were admitted to the regional children’s hospital with shrapnel wounds. Doctors assess the girl’s condition as serious and the boy’s as moderate.

"Doctors are fighting to save their lives and are providing all necessary care," said the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.
