A Russian drone strike wounded 14 people in Odesa, while a Ukrainian strike killed two civilians in Russian-held Kherson, according to AP reporting.

A pre-dawn Russian drone attack wounded 14 people in Odesa, including two children, while a Ukrainian drone strike killed two civilians in Russian-held Kherson, according to AP reporting.

The Odesa strike damaged residential neighborhoods and other civilian infrastructure. AP said the attack hit the southern port city before dawn and left emergency crews working in affected areas.

On the Russian-held side of the front, Moscow-installed authorities said Ukrainian drones killed a man and a woman in their 70s in the village of Dnipriany in Kherson region.

The twin strikes highlight the continuing risk to civilians in southern Ukraine, where drone warfare has become a regular feature of the conflict. The casualty figures reported so far remain the latest official or semi-official counts, and neither side has indicated whether those numbers will change.

The immediate question is whether Ukrainian or Russian authorities will revise the toll or provide more details on damage and rescue operations in the coming hours.
