A Russian drone attack on Odesa injured four people, including three children, and caused damage to residential buildings and energy infrastructure. The attack occurred amid escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia, despite reports of progress in peace talks. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drones damaged port infrastructure and a gas pipeline in Tuapse, a Russian Black Sea port, with no reported injuries. Furthermore, a fire at a substation near Moscow left over 100,000 residents without power. The situation remains tense and hostilities continue, while efforts to reach a peace agreement are ongoing.
