Russia's drone and missile strikes kill at least 19 in Odesa and Sumy

Russia's drone and missile strikes on Ukraine have resulted in at least 19 deaths and many injuries. Odesa was hit hard, with eight fatalities and 18 injuries reported. The attacks targeted residential areas, according to local officials. In Sumy, a nine-storey residential building was struck, leading to at least 11 deaths, including two children. Over 400 residents were evacuated as rescuers searched for survivors in the damaged structure.
