Russia carried out a significant drone attack on Ukraine, targeting Kyiv and causing damage to a maternity facility in Odesa's southern port, resulting in the deaths of two individuals and injuring at least thirteen others, according to regional authorities. This attack followed Monday's large drone assault by Russia, part of increased military actions that Moscow claims are in response to Ukraine's recent incursions into Russian territory. Medical teams responded to emergencies in four Kyiv districts, including the historic Podil area, as reported by Mayor Vitali Klitschko via Telegram. In Odesa, a 59-year-old man was confirmed dead, and four others were injured in the drone attack, according to Governor Oleg Kiper. Military officials advised residents to seek shelter as the attacks continued, causing damage to residential buildings and fires. In Odesa's southern port, a substantial drone strike hit an emergency medical facility, a maternity ward, and residential structures, with no casualties reported at the maternity hospital due to successful evacuation of patients and staff. Both parties in the conflict claim to avoid civilian targets, but the ongoing conflict has led to thousands of civilian casualties, mostly Ukrainian.
