Odesa comes under massive Russian missile and drone attack

People walk past a hostel damaged by a Russian military operation in Odesa, Ukraine, on April 16, 2026. Overnight, the southern city experiences several waves of missile and drone strikes that impact port, critical, and residential infrastructure. Nine people are killed and more than 20 are injured. All of the fatalities occur in a nine-storey building, which Russian forces strike three times: twice during the day and once the previous evening. (Photo by Nina Liashonok/Ukrinform/NurPhoto)
