Russia launches series of strikes on Odesa Oblast highway, injuring five and damaging vehicles

Russian forces struck a highway in Odesa Oblast, injuring five people and damaging trucks and cars, regional governor Oleh Kiper said, with two of the injured hospitalized and one in extremely critical condition. Ukraine's Air Force had earlier reported jet-powered drones heading toward the region, including Pivdenne.

The strike follows a large-scale Russian attack a day earlier on Odesa's industrial, port, and residential areas that sparked large fires; emergency service specialists found no hazardous substances despite heavy smoke. Separately on October 6, a drone strike on a Marshall Islands-flagged commercial vessel in the Black Sea killed one person and injured seven others.
