Russian forces carried out a combined strike on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region on Saturday afternoon, according to Ukrainska Pravda, citing Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration.

Three people were injured in the attack. Kiper said a woman and a 16-year-old girl were hurt after a private house and a dacha (country house) were damaged by the strike.

Agricultural facility also hit

The strike also damaged a local agro-industrial enterprise, destroying three grain silos. One more person was injured in that part of the attack.

The regional head emphasized that the strike hit civilian infrastructure — residential homes and agricultural facilities — rather than military targets. Further details on the victims' conditions and the full extent of the damage have not yet been released.
