International Coalition Halts Russian Air Strikes on Odesa, Ukraine

Ukraine claims to have intercepted all airborne weapons fired during three waves of drone and missile attacks launched by Russia on the southern port city of Odesa. Falling debris from the interceptions damaged buildings, including a residential building, a supermarket, and an educational facility. Meanwhile, the Dutch and British air forces scrambled fighter jets to intercept Russian bombers flying near their airspace. The Ukrainian army stated that its counteroffensive against Russian forces aims to systematically destroy the enemy's capabilities rather than engage in large-scale battles. The Russian attacks on Odesa have targeted grain transport facilities and Ukrainian historical sites, disrupting Ukraine's crucial grain exports.
