Air strikes involve attacks by military aircraft, often using missiles or bombs, aimed at targets on the ground. They can be precise, but in conflict zones, residential areas are frequently hit, either intentionally or due to miscalculation. This incident in Odesa is a tragic example of civilians being caught in such attacks.
