A Russian attack on Odesa has resulted in one death and ten injuries. The overnight strikes damaged residential buildings, churches, and schools, and critically affected the main heating pipeline, leaving over 40,000 residents without heat as temperatures drop. The Odesa mayor reported that a 35-year-old woman died while sleeping near a window during the attack. Fires broke out but were quickly controlled. Authorities are distributing hot drinks and blankets while repairs are underway. This incident is part of a recent increase in Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities, particularly in the south. Ukraine faces a challenging winter, with concerns about energy infrastructure and military support following the recent U.S. presidential election.
