Odesa Braces After Massive Russian Missile-Drone Onslaught

Ukraine’s Odesa region endured a large Russian strike on Aug. 9, with 11 missiles and up to 100 drones—including Banderol loitering munitions—injuring 12 people, damaging homes and energy infrastructure, and causing power and water outages. The attack followed a week of heavy bombardment across Ukraine, including a Kharkiv Saltivka district double-strike that killed three and wounded about 37. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted roughly 72% of drones and most Banderol munitions, with some missiles blocked by electronic warfare; Zelensky urged stronger sanctions and anti-aircraft defenses.
