On the night of 13 January, Russian forces attacked central Odesa, damaging residential buildings, a lyceum, a hospital and a kindergarten.
According to preliminary information, five people were injured. Numerous fires were also reported, including at a fitness centre and a newly built residential property, with the shelling causing significant destruction.
The situation in the city became tense following repeated enemy attacks that resulted in damage to social infrastructure facilities.
