Dayana Yastremska reports family apartment destroyed in Odesa missile strike

Ukrainian professional tennis player Dayana Yastremska reported that her family apartment in Odesa was destroyed during a Russian aerial attack. Sharing images and videos on social media, Yastremska stated that the building was hit by a direct strike from a Kalibr cruise missile. She noted that a Roland Garros towel was the only object to survive the destruction of her home.

Yastremska used the incident to criticize the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and the International Tennis Federation (ITF) regarding their policy of allowing Russian and Belarusian players to compete under neutral status. She urged the organizations to view the reality of the conflict through the eyes of Ukrainian athletes.

Local authorities confirmed that the missile and drone strikes on Odesa and Chornomorsk resulted in dozens of injuries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also reported that the attack on a residential building in Odesa caused significant damage. This incident follows similar reports from fellow athlete Elina Svitolina, who noted that her Padel club in Kyiv was also heavily damaged by Russian strikes.
