Russian forces launched a mass

drone attack on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa late on

Thursday, causing injuries and hitting civilian targets,

officials said.



Andriy Yermak, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of

staff, said the drones struck civilian targets and caused

injuries, without giving further details.



Public broadcaster Suspilne said more than 18 explosions

were recorded in the city after 10 p.m. and a fire broke out.

Suspilne quoted utility officials as saying power was cut in

several districts.



Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian attacks in the

more than three-year-old war, particularly the city's port

facilities.
