In addition to the attack in Odessa, explosions were reported overnight in the city of Sumi, and anti-aircraft alerts were activated in several regions, including Kiev and Kharkov.
In response, the Ukrainian president called for a complete halt to the attacks and blamed Vladimir Putin for maintaining a violent and persistent attitude in the conflict.
