Olha Shylimina, head of the Loving Hearts animal shelter, examines the charred remains of pet food at the shelter’s destroyed main building in the Odesa region, Ukraine, September 29, 2026. During a nighttime Russian drone strike, the roof of the building - covering more than 400 square metres - was hit. The fire destroyed the premises along with stocks of grain, medicines, warm blankets, bowls, and other critical supplies. Thirteen animals - 10 cats and three dogs - died as a result of the strike and ensuing fire.
