ALBAWABA - A Russian attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa killed two and left 14 others injured, including children, local authorities reported on Saturday.

Moscow launched drone and missile attacks on Ukraine despite the peace talks mediated by the US to stop the three-year war.

"Rescuers pulled the bodies of two people from the rubble who died as a result of a hostile drone strike on a residential building," Odesa Governor Oleh Kiper posted on Telegram.

The overnight strike wounded 14 people, Kiper further mentioned, adding that "three of them children."

On the other hand, "Russian troops targeted critical and social infrastructure and residential areas in the region," Kherson Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Saturday.
