You guys need to pay attention because what's happening in Odesa is genuinely horrifying and keeps getting worse instead of better. Another wave of Russian strikes hit the Ukrainian city this morning and three more people were killed — which means it's one of those rounds, not just a single incident. This isn't just another news cycle though; Odesa has been hammered by Shahed drones and missiles multiple times in recent weeks alone. The latest attack forced thousands to flee their homes during the night because early warnings mean residents have minutes to get underground before the missiles land. I can't even describe how many of these cities have been repeatedly targeted like this over months, it's just devastating.

The scale is what gets me — Shahed drones are cheap mass-produced weapons flying from Russia in numbers that overwhelm Ukraine's interceptors and hit civilian infrastructure every single night. This latest round followed several others that struck Odesa city center and surrounding neighborhoods where people live and work. We keep hearing "Ukraine said they destroyed most of the incoming missiles" which is technically true for many flights but those few that get through cause catastrophic damage to residential buildings and hospitals. It's a cycle that just keeps repeating with new rounds every week, and I honestly can't imagine what this city has endured since February.
