Russian Drone Strikes in Odesa Result in Casualties Ahead of Orthodox Easter Ceasefire
Russian drone strikes in the Ukrainian city of Odesa have resulted in the deaths of at least two individuals, with two others wounded. The attacks occurred overnight, targeting residential areas and causing damage to apartment buildings, houses, and a kindergarten. This incident comes just before a proposed ceasefire for Orthodox Easter, declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia launched 160 drones, of which 133 were intercepted. Meanwhile, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have shot down 99 Ukrainian drones across Russia and occupied Crimea. The ceasefire, intended as a humanitarian gesture, is set to last 32 hours over the Easter weekend.
