The southern region of Ukraine has been affected by both sides during the war, as Russia targeted the city of Odessa with drones, while Ukrainian forces shelled the city of Melitopol.

Ukraine’s military said it shot down 10 drones on Saturday, but five more energy plants have struck, cutting power to 1.5 million people.

Subsequently, the exiled Ukrainian mayor of Melitopol said the Russian-controlled city had suffered a major blow.

Pictures released by a Russian-appointed official show a large fire.
