A Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s southern port city of Odesa has killed two women and a toddler while Ukrainian long-range drones targeted Russia’s key Black Sea port for oil exports.

The night-time attack on Odesa heavily damaged an apartment block, killing the women and a two-year-old child, officials said. Rescuers working under floodlights pulled four people from the rubble.
