Day of mourning in Odessa. The rescuers removed another body from under the rubble

Today is a day of mourning in Odessa. That decision was taken yesterday after 9 people, including two three-month-olds and a three-year-old, were killed by a drone that crashed into an apartment building in the port city of Odesa, authorities said.

Rescuers announced that they had pulled out another body from the rubble, bringing the death toll to nine.

The head of the regional military administration, Oleg Kiper, said in the morning that the search operation continues.

We remind you that following a drone attack on a nine-story building in Odesa, one of the stairs partially collapsed. The day before, authorities reported eight deaths, including two children aged three years and three months.

The Russian side did not comment on the drone attack on the Odesa region, nor on the casualties resulting from hitting a residential building.
