KYIV, Sept ‌13 (Reuters) - At ​least ​five people were wounded in a Russian attack on ‌the Ukrainian city of Odesa on ⁠Sunday morning, officials said, a day ‌after strikes on the ‌city killed two people.

"Residential areas were damaged in several districts of ​the city. Authorities are assessing the full extent of the ⁠damage," the head of Odesa military administration, Serhiy ​Lysak, said on Telegram.

Odesa, home to Ukraine's main port hub, has ​faced persistent Russian ‌missile and drone attacks in recent months, forcing the ⁠closure of seaports crucial to Ukrainian exports.

According to officials, a Russian drone ⁠struck the city on Saturday morning, hitting ​an apartment building and killing two people while injuring 26.

Several other regions were also ‌targeted in attacks in western Ukraine that continued through ‌the night and into the ⁠morning, regional authorities ‌said on ​Sunday. They did not immediately report civilian casualties.
