Ukraine-Russia war – live: Fire rips through Odesa hotel after two-hour Putin drone strike
Russian missiles have struck Odesa two nights in a row, damaging key infrastructure in the region. Early on Monday morning, Russian attacks in the region left a high-rise hotel destroyed and at least two workhouse workers dead. An air strike on Monday night saw further attacks on the key Ukrainian grain exporting port of Izmail, injuring two people and damaging infrastructure, the governor of the Odesa region said on Tuesday. A port building, storage facilities and more than 30 trucks and cars were damaged in Monday night’s attack, which lasted more than two hours, Oleh Kiper said on the Telegram messaging app. The Ukrainian military reported shooting down 26 of the 38 Iranian-made attack drones it said were launched by Russia. Moscow has intensified its air attacks on Ukrainian ports on the Danube River, including Izmail and Reni, after it quit a grain deal in July that ensured the safe export of Ukrainian grains. Seperately on Tuesday morning, a Russian missile strike damaged a local enterprise in the southern Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, its mayor, Oleksandr Vilkul, said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
