A married couple, born in 1958 and 1962, died in the suburbs of Odesa following a Russian missile attack, reportedly involving a banned cluster warhead.
Kyiv Post — Russia launched a coordinated overnight attack on Ukraine, hitting the outskirts of Odesa with missiles carrying cluster warheads, resulting in casualties, Odesa officials reported.
Ukraine’s Air Force announced on Telegram that air defense forces intercepted a Kh-59 missile and 10 Shahed drones. Russian forces had fired the Kh-59 guided air missile from the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region, along with 14 kamikaze drones from Russian Kursk and Cape Chauda in occupied Crimea.
Additionally, Odesa was struck by two Iskander-M ballistic missiles fired from occupied Crimea.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces, including anti-aircraft missile units, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare teams, managed to shoot down one Kh-59 missile and 10 attack drones. Anti-aircraft defenses were also active in the Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Poltava, and Mykolaiv regions.
Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration (OVA), reported that on the evening of September 14, Russia launched a missile attack on Odesa’s outskirts, with preliminary data suggesting the use of cluster warheads.
“As a result of the Russian missile attack, likely involving prohibited cluster warheads, residential and commercial buildings in the Odesa suburbs were damaged,” Kiper wrote on Telegram.
A married couple, born in 1958 and 1962, died in the attack. Their bodies were discovered during a site inspection.
