and it is no mistake that odesa is home to ukraine s most famous port. some of the destruction from last night, this is an administrative building. it was four stories high. you can see it has completely collapsed. we are told this is still a search and rescue-toration. at least one young man was killed. there were several people injured. you can see the firefighters trying to put out the fires in this building both from among the rubble and up on that ladder up there. there are firefighters, there are rescue workers, there are volunteers and residents of this neighborhood who are just trying to make sense of what we experienced last night. we are on the edge of the port, the biggest port in ukraine, which we can t show you for security reasons. but that is almost certainly why, according to ukraine authorities, russia has been carrying out strikes on ukraine. now this attack started before
search and rescue operation. we know that at least one young man was killed. there were several people who were injured. you can see those firefighters trying to put out the fires in this building both from among the rubble and up on that ladder up there. there are firefighters. there are rescue workers. there are volunteers and residents of this neighborhood who are just trying to make sense of what we experienced last night. we are on the edge of the port, the biggest port in ukraine, which we can t show you for security reasons. but that is almost certainly why according to ukrainian authorities russia has been carrying out these strikes on ukraine. now, this attack started just before 2:00 a.m. local time. it was a combination of drones and missiles. we could hear those drones very clearly buzzing the rooftops in downtown odesa. i want to play you some of the video that sorry, we re going to get out of the way of this
