The assault on Odesa caused no casualties but damaged residential buildings and port facilities. In Druzhkivka, two injuries were reported after eight aerial bombs struck the city. The attack sparked a fire in an administrative building and an industrial zone.

Damage Assessment and Aftermath of the Strikes

Teams are currently operating in the Kirovohrad region to evaluate the extent of the destruction. Oleksandr Hanza reported on the shelling, while the State Emergency Service of Ukraine provided details on the impacts across these communities. It is worth noting that on March 22, Russian troops targeted settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk region more than 30 times, killing two people.
