RUSSIA has launched a devastating drone strike on Odesa – just hours after the US and Ukraine signed a landmark mineral deal.

Two people were killed and at least 15 more were by Vladimir Putin’s blitz – marking a clear rebuke of the new agreement.

Raging fires were sparked and various buildings were damaged, according to emergency services.

Regional governor Oleh Kiper said: “The enemy attack damaged residential high-rises, private houses, a supermarket, a school, and cars.”

He confirmed that rescue workers were extinguishing flames following the horrific attack.

Ukraine’s state-owned railway Ukrzaliznytsia said the overnight attack damaged its tracks and various trains.

They said: “Railway employees are carrying out rapid repair work to ensure that freight trains run to ports without interruption.

“They are currently following an alternative route.”

The company added that one of the people killed in the strikes was a railway worker.

Ukraine’s air force said that mad Vlad launched five ballistic missiles and 170 drones during the overnight blitz.
