The Russians struck the same building in Odessa three times

Russian forces struck a high-rise building in Odesa three times—twice in the past 24 hours and once the day before.

This was reported by Ukrinform.

According to Denys Baranov, head of the Khadzhibeyevsky District Administration, the building was first struck by a kamikaze drone, and in the morning, the Russians launched a ballistic missile strike directly into the courtyard.

The building sustained significant damage, with at least nine apartments damaged, and it is currently unknown whether it can be restored.

Another resident noted that after the first explosion, the building filled with smoke, and the second strike occurred while people were already trying to escape.

Starting on the evening of April 14, Russian occupiers launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine, using 3 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 324 drones of various types. Air defense forces neutralized most of the targets, but some hits were recorded.

In the Desnianskyi district of Kyiv, law enforcement officers discovered the warhead of a Russian Iskander-K missile. A controlled destruction of the munition is planned at the site.

On the night of April 15, three people were injured in Dnipro and the surrounding region as a result of Russian drone strikes, and damage to civilian infrastructure was reported.
