On April 21, Russia launched a large-scale drone attack on the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa.

Several explosions — estimated at around 15 — were heard across the city.

Media reports indicate that drones struck residential neighborhoods, causing fires and widespread property damage.

Windows were shattered in nearby homes, and emergency services are working at the scenes of impact.

A significant fire broke out in at least one location, and a strong smell of smoke was reported in various districts.

Editor’s note: This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Previously, it was reported that US President Donald Trump suggested that Russia and Ukraine may reach some kind of agreement as early as next week.
