Russia launched a massive combined aerial assault on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, firing approximately 70 drones and 20 different types of missiles over a two-hour period, according to reports. Buildings in the historic city center were struck and there are numerous wounded. The extent of casualties is not yet clear.
The attack follows an earlier unconfirmed report from The Zioneer at 06:00 Jerusalem time indicating that Russian forces were attacking Odesa, without providing further details. This new report significantly expands on the scale of the assault.
