At least three people were killed on Monday in the latest powerful Russian drone strikes on the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa.Fifteen residents, including a pregnant woman and two children, were injured, military governor Oleh Kiper reported on Telegram, after a drone struck a multi-storey residential building.Those killed included a 30-year-old woman and her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, as well as a 53-year-old woman. There were fires and significant destruction, Kiper said.“Residential buildings, critical infrastructure and administrative buildings were hit,” said Kiper. “Rescue operations are ongoing; there may still be people under the rubble.”Dog handlers and psychologists were also at the scene, he said. “Law enforcement agencies are documenting the aggressor state’s latest war crimes against the civilian population.”Kiper said 16,000 households are without power as a result of the attacks on energy infrastructure.
