Quote: "During New Year's Eve, Russian terrorists bombarded Odesa Oblast with attack drones...

A 15-year-old teenager was killed in the attack. Three people with injuries and burns were taken to hospital, four more received medical care on the spot and continue to be treated on an outpatient basis.

A fire broke out in one of the port terminals as a result of the attack, which was quickly extinguished. No one was injured."

Details: Air defence units destroyed 28 Shahed attack drones in Odesa Oblast overnight. 

Kiper said that the Russians deliberately sent some of the drones to Odesa's residential districts and suburbs around midnight, where people were gathering in their homes to celebrate the New Year with their families.

At least three high-rise apartment buildings, three private houses and outbuildings were damaged as a result of the downed UAVs.

Law enforcement agencies are recording the consequences of yet another crime by the Russian occupiers.
