Russia launches mass drone strikes on Ukraine; 24 sites hit, Odessa damaged

Overnight, Russian forces launched hundreds of drones against Ukraine, with Ukrainian air defenses neutralizing most but impacts recorded at 24 sites nationwide, including Odessa where warehouses, a gymnasium, and a dormitory were damaged. This continues the established pattern of Russian aerial bombardment, with no reported change in tactics or scale. The strikes underscore sustained pressure on Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian areas, though the strategic impact remains limited as air defenses continue to intercept the majority.
