KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials say Russia struck the Black Sea port city of Odesa for a second night in a row in a drone barrage that damaged a warehouse, charred dozens of trucks and injured two drivers in fiery explosions. The attacks led officials to suspend ferry service between Romania and Ukraine. Video shot from the Romanian side of the Danube River showed rapid-fire bursts of Ukrainian anti-aircraft fire streaking through the night sky followed by two orange fireballs exploding near the port area. Photos showed burned-out frames of trucks. The attacks came the day after missile and drone attacks killed two people in an Odesa grain warehouse.
