As specified by the State Emergency Service, apartments on the 6th through 8th floors of a nine-story residential building in Odesa were damaged by the strikes. The blast wave and debris damaged windows and facades of neighboring high-rise buildings, as well as 28 parked cars.
At other locations, a two-story residential building and a non-residential building were destroyed, and nearby cars were damaged.
Fires broke out at the sites of the strikes but were quickly extinguished by rescue workers.
The number of casualties subsequently rose.
“One person was killed, and five others were injured,” the State Emergency Service reported.
State Emergency Service psychologists were on site. Twenty-six rescue workers and six pieces of equipment were deployed to address the aftermath of the attack.
Odesa faces daily enemy attacks using various types of weapons—the enemy strikes with guided aerial bombs, ballistic and cruise missiles, “Banderole” missiles, and “Shahed” strike drones.
For example, on September 3, enemy shelling damaged apartments in a 21-story residential building in Odesa. Seventeen people were injured, including three children.
On the night of September 2, Odesa came under a massive attack, resulting in at least eight people being injured, including a child. Two of the wounded were hospitalized. Residential buildings, cars, offices, and two educational institutions were also damaged during the attack.
