Odesa

In Ukraine, a drone attack has rocked the Odesa region in the south. Alongside this targeted strike, reports emerge of casualties from Russian assaults in various parts of the country.

Russian forces have carried out targeted attacks on critical infrastructure sites in central Ukraine, causing widespread alarm and disruption. The assault, centered around the city of Dnipro, has left at least one person injured and prompted urgent warnings of missile strikes across the country.

Russia launched a drone assault on the Ukrainian city of Odesa, wreaking havoc on its infrastructure and plunging parts of the city into darkness. The attack, which unfolded under the cover of night, left a trail of destruction, as reported by Reuters citing Oleg Kiper, the regional governor of the Odesa region.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called for an end to the "political speculation" about the Tempe railway disaster, saying that the "judiciary is doing its work with greater speed than in the past."

"I wonder what those who are talking about a cover-up are talking about," he said, speaking after the conclusion of the European Union council summit in Brussels.

Overnight Russian airstrikes targeted energy facilities across Ukraine, leaving over 1 million energy consumers in the country without electricity, as reported by Reuters.

The airstrikes primarily focused on regions in eastern Kharkiv Oblast, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and Poltava Oblast, resulting in widespread power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of residents.

In the aftermath of last night's devastating Russian airstrikes on energy facilities, over one million consumers in Ukraine find themselves without power, as reported by a senior presidential official today. The strikes have wrought havoc across multiple regions, leaving hundreds of thousands in darkness.

The city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, was shaken by a series of explosions this morning, with Mayor Igor Terekhov confirming about 15 blasts. Initial assessments suggest that Russian missile strikes deliberately targeted the city's power infrastructure, resulting in a partial blackout and disrupting essential services.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday, as announced in a post on platform X. 

According to Zelensky, the two leaders discussed the implementation of agreements between the two countries and defense cooperation. Additionally, Zelensky informed the Greek Prime Minister about Thursday's Russian attack.

"So a Russian ballistic missile nearly killed the Greek prime minister as he was visiting Odesa with Zelensky today. The Greek prime minister. The leader of the NATO and EU member with the largest sympathies for Russia," Yaroslav Trofimov, chief foreign affairs correspondent of The Wall Street journal and author, commented on X on the day of the attack.

Explosions shook Odesa on March 15 as a result of a Russian missile strike, causing casualties, according to a statement made by Oleh Kiper, the Governor of Odesa Oblast. The attack took place shortly after 11 a.m., coinciding with the activation of an air raid alert.
