Russian forces launched strikes on Odesa on Friday morning, November 13, resulting in the deaths of two women and injuries to six others. The attacks also caused damage to private homes and cars, and ignited a house fire. Regional Governor Oleh Kiper initially reported two fatalities and five hospitalised individuals, but the Odesa regional prosecutor’s spokeswoman, Inna Verba, later confirmed six injured. Verba identified the women killed as aged 44 and 50. The injured included four women aged between 47 and 73, and two men aged 24 and 42. According to Verba's later account, all six were hospitalised with moderate injuries. Governor Kiper had previously described two of the five injured in his initial report as being in serious condition. The State Emergency Service reported that a one-story private house was destroyed and caught fire, with firefighters extinguishing the blaze. At a separate location, an impact in an open area damaged 11 passenger cars. Emergency service psychologists were present at the scene. These strikes followed a separate Russian attack on the southern part of the Odesa region on Thursday evening, November 12. That attack hit a production building at a furniture business, starting a fire and injuring four people, two of whom were hospitalised. The State Emergency Service reported that attack also damaged windows in an apartment building and destroyed a truck and trailer. ## Disagreement on number of injured Regional Governor Oleh Kiper initially stated that five people had been hospitalised following the Friday morning strikes. However, Odesa regional prosecutor’s spokeswoman Inna Verba later told Suspilne that six people were injured. The Kyiv Post reported Verba's later account of six injured, while also noting Kiper's earlier description of two of the five injured as being in serious condition. ## Omissions None of the left-rated digests mention the separate Russian attack on the southern part of the Odesa region on Thursday evening, November 12, which injured four people. The centre-rated digests did not mention this separate attack either. The right-rated digest did not mention this separate attack. ## Who covered it Shares of the 8 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 50% (4) - Centre: 37% (3) - Right: 13% (1) 13 of 21 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

Kyiv Post, in its full report, detailed the casualties, damage to homes and cars, and the subsequent fire, attributing information to local officials including Governor Oleh Kiper and prosecutor’s spokeswoman Inna Verba. It also provided specific ages for the deceased and injured. The reports from unn.ua and fakti.bg, both digests, also focused on the number of dead and injured, with fakti.bg noting that five people were hospitalised and mentioning damage to a residential building and cars. rbc.ua's digest also highlighted that drones attacked Odesa, resulting in deaths and injuries, and mentioned damage to a private residential home. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports focused on the immediate casualties and damage from the Russian attack. ZN.UA's headline stated that Russians were attacking Odesa with drones and that there were already dead and wounded, with its digest quoting Governor Oleg Kiper on the damage to a private residential building and the increase in fatalities to two, with five injured hospitalised. Hola News's digest reported two killed and seven injured in the attack on a residential area, citing Governor Oleg Kiper and the Ukrainian Prosecutor’s Office identifying the fatalities as women aged 44 and 5. 15min.lt's digest also reported two killed and five injured in a Russian drone strike. ### Right - The single right-rated report, Korrespondent.net, focused on the casualties. Its digest stated that the Russian attack on Odesa killed two people and injured five others, with two of the injured in serious condition. **Provisional coverage gap:** right.
