Ukraine's president refused to say which stage the counter-offensive against Russian forces was in.
A separate overnight Russian attack targeted an airfield in the central region of Poltava.
"As a result of the air fight, debris from one of the drones fell onto a high-rise apartment, causing a fire," Natalia Humeniuk, the southern military command's spokesperson, said. Images showed an apartment building in Odesa heavily damaged, with debris covering rooms and windows blown out. Others showed a large crater on the ground.
