A heavy Russian drone bombardment of Ukraine’s southern city of Odesa killed at least one person and injured 23, including two children and a pregnant woman, officials said Tuesday as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for faster US efforts to end Russia’s almost four-year-old invasion of his country.

The Odesa attack involved more than 50 drones, some of them models recently upgraded by Russia to improve their range and strike power, according to Ukrainian authorities.
