Ukraine guns down 26 Russian drones

A Russian air strike during the night caused harm to two people and damaged the infrastructure of Izmail, a Ukrainian port known for exporting grain.

The attack on Tuesday lasted for over two hours and caused damage to a port building, storage facilities, and more than 30 trucks and cars, as confirmed by the governor of the Odesa region, Oleh Kiper.

The Ukrainian military destroyed 26 out of the 38 attack drones that Russia sent, which were made in Iran.

Moscow has increased its airstrikes on Ukrainian ports along the Danube River, such as Izmail and Reni. This happened because they stopped a grain agreement in July that used to guarantee the secure shipment of Ukrainian grains.

On Tuesday, a Russian missile attack also hurt a business in the southern Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih, according to Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul.
It is not clear yet if anyone was hurt.

A drone attack by Ukraine caused the power to be shut off in seven towns in Russia’s Kursk region, according to Governor Roman Starovoyt.

Earlier, the defense ministry of Russia stated that their air defense systems had destroyed a drone launched by Ukraine over the Kursk area around 5:30 am.

Afterwards, there were many reports of several drones being hit and destroyed in the area near Ukraine on Monday.

Yesterday, Russia launched missiles on the city of Odessa in Ukraine. This happened while the city’s Jewish community was observing the important religious holiday called Yom Kippur.

Fighters attacked the famous Hotel Odessa, which was being used as a training center for the military. The hotel was severely damaged and destroyed by the fire that followed.

Other people who saw it said that there was a long attack on the Black Sea port. Russia fired a lot of dangerous missiles for more than an hour.
