Russian drone strike on Odesa kills married couple, Ukraine says
Two people died and at least 17 more were injured as Russian drones struck the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa overnight, Ukrainian authorities said.
A drone slammed into a residential tower block in the city, causing damage to three floors and trapping residents, emergency services said.
The two people killed in the attack were a married couple, according to regional governor Oleh Kiper, who added that three children were among the injured.
There was no immediate comment from Moscow. According to Russia's Defence Ministry, more than 40 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight and on Saturday morning, over western Russia and Kremlin-occupied Crimea.
Long-range drone strikes have been a hallmark of the war, now in its fourth year.

Four people hurt after pickup truck crashes into apartment building in Woodlawn
Four people were taken to the hospital after a pickup truck rammed into a brick apartment building in the Woodlawn neighborhood Saturday morning. The crash happened near Marquette and Langley, leaving debris and bricks inside and outside the building. Sources tell CBS News Chicago that three people were taken to the hospital in good condition and one in serious condition. A resident, who lives above where the crash happened, described the aftermath. "It's horrific, it's horrific in the inside," Leslie Johson said. "It's torn up, you can't walk to the front. I had to climb through all that debris to get to my family." A neighbor said she had seen this happen before, but not with so much damage. "I didn't expect it to be so much damage because how could one person cause so much damage to one building?" she said. CBS News Chicago has reached out for more information, but has yet to hear back.
