Russia launched an overnight drone attack on the city of Odesa, southwestern Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
The Ukrainian President said the attack, consisting of “over 60 drones”, hit “a maternity hospital, residential buildings, businesses, the port, and critical infrastructure” causing “extensive damage”.
In a post to X on Saturday (28 March), Mr Zelensky wrote, “There was no military purpose whatsoever – this was pure terror against ordinary civilian life.”
