Russia carried out a series of strikes on two Ukrainian cities early Tuesday morning, launching dozens of drones and missiles. According to Ukrainian authorities, the attack left three people dead and at least thirteen others injured.
In Odesa, residential buildings and a maternity hospital in the city center sustained damage, according to Oleg Kiper, head of the regional military administration. The regional prosecutor’s office reported that two people were killed and nine wounded.

The attack came shortly after Moscow launched its largest nighttime drone operation in three years, firing nearly 500 drones across Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian and Western officials had previously anticipated a Kremlin response to the Ukrainian drone strike on Russian airbases carried out on June 1.
As plumes of smoke rose over Kyiv on Tuesday morning—with air defenses intercepting incoming drones and missiles—residents sheltered in the metro, where many had spent the night during hours-long air raid alerts.

As prisoner exchanges—the only tangible outcome of the recent direct talks in Istanbul—continue, Russia is launching a record number of drones and missiles across Ukrainian territory. The ceasefire Kyiv has long sought remains elusive.
In Kyiv, fires broke out in at least four districts following the attack, as debris from intercepted drones fell onto the roofs of residential buildings and warehouses, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration.
