💥 Damage

Massive Russian missile attacks have caused extensive damage and casualties in Odesa and its surrounding region, leading to widespread disruptions in power, water, and communication services. Critical infrastructure, including residential buildings and a major highway, has been impacted, with traffic restrictions imposed on the 'Odesa-Reni' route. Separately, Kharkiv experienced a deadly Russian strike on a high-rise residential building, resulting in at least 23 casualties as search operations continue under the rubble. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia launched 61 missiles at Ukraine in the past week, with 56 of them being ballistic. In non-military news, a private clinic is at the center of a scandal after a 29-year-old woman reportedly lost her uterus and kidneys due to severe medical complications. Economically, the destruction of warehouses across Ukraine is projected to cause a 15-20% increase in goods prices.
