Inside Ukraine, a Russian missile attack killed four people and injured dozens of others late Wednesday at a hotel in the central city of Kryvyi Rih, which is President Zelensky’s hometown. Late Tuesday, a Russian drone attack killed at least one person and cut off power, water and heating in the Black Sea port of Odesa. This Odesa resident says the fighting is now at its most intense since the start of the war.

Ella: “In the beginning of the war, more drones were being shot down. It has been scary, but we felt like we were protected. Now they were falling on our heads like flies! They exploded around the house. Our house was completely blown out. One of the drones hit the house directly.”
