4 injured

A jet-powered Shahed drone hit a Tavria V grocery store in the Odesa region on Oct 15, partly destroying it and damaging cars. Rescuers said four people were injured.

Why it matters

Zelensky called the strike Russia's answer to signals from the US about a possible further lifting of sanctions, signals he described as dangerous.
