(Reuters) - Russian forces launched a mass drone attack on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa late on Thursday, injuring three people and damaging a high-rise apartment building and a shopping centre, the regional governor said.

Oleh Kiper, writing on the Telegram messaging app, said there had been strikes in three locations that triggered fires, while three districts of the city were suffering from power cuts.

Public broadcaster Suspilne had earlier reported more than 18 explosions in the city after 10 p.m. (2000 GMT).

Odesa has been a frequent target of Russian attacks in the more than three-year-old war, particularly the city's port facilities.

The governor of Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, Ivan Fedorov, reported several strikes on areas near the city of Zaporizhzhia, including one guided bomb. He said five people were injured, including a child.
