A normal morning in the village of Mayaky, in Ukraine's Odesa region, turned into a scene of fire and panic today when a Russian drone slammed into a Tavria V supermarket. CCTV footage of the strike shows a huge daytime explosion, a roaring fireball, and thick black smoke swallowing the building within seconds. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that three people were injured, the store was partially destroyed, and cars nearby were damaged. Regional prosecutors say the wounded are a 34-year-old man and two women, aged 40 and 57, while emergency and medical crews rushed to the site to help the victims.

OSINT trackers and several news outlets say the weapon was a Geran-4, a jet-powered version of the Shahed drone that flies much faster than the older propeller-driven models, which gives defenders far less time to react. Zelenskyy described it as a jet-powered Shahed strike on an ordinary store and called it proof that Russia keeps targeting civilian sites. He used the moment to urge partners not to ease sanctions on Moscow, warning that extra money only feeds more killing in a war now in its 1,695th day. The hit follows a pattern of attacks on shops, as a jet-powered drone strike on a supermarket in Chernihiv in July killed two people, including a nine-year-old girl. For Ukrainians, the lesson from Mayaky is chilling: even a quick trip to buy groceries can now become a brush with a high-speed drone.
