The Air Force said that Russia launched a total of 22 drones to attack Ukraine overnight, without specifying how many of them targeted Odesa. The missiles hit Odesa's city center and an abandoned industrial building, while the blast wave damaged the Odesa Fine Arts Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, according to the oblast governor. The kamikaze drones reportedly targeted Odesa's port infrastructure, damaging warehouses, loading equipment, and trucks carrying grain.

Attacks against Ukraine's port and grain infrastructure in Odesa and Mykolaiv oblasts has escalated after Russia withdrew from the Black Sea Grain Initiative in July.
