At least two people were killed in a drone strike on Odesa, Ukraine, in the early hours of Thursday, May 1, just hours after the United States and Ukraine signed a long-awaited minerals deal.
Five further people were injured in the attack, which damaged residential buildings, private homes, a supermarket, a school, and cars, according to Suspilne News.
Footage released by the the head of the Odesa Oblast Autonomous Region, Oleg Kiper, showed the damage to a number of buildings with emergency personnel helping people evacuate and douse flames.
The strikes came just hours after Ukraine agreed a deal with the US to share profits from the future sale of its mineral and energy reserves.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the deal showed both sides were committed to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine. Credit: Oleg Kiper via Storyful
