Quote from Kiper: “Last night, Russian troops terrorised Odesa Oblast with attack drones for more than six hours.
For the second night in a row, Russian monsters started with an attack on Odesa. The air defence [network] accurately responded to every enemy target.
A student accommodation centre was damaged as a result of the falling pieces of downed kamikaze drones. 11 people were injured, including 3 children. The children and two adults were hospitalised. Two 8-year-old boys and a 12-year-old girl suffered concussions and closed craniocerebral injuries, while adults suffered concussions and wounds.”
Details: In addition, 11 buildings in Odesa were damaged by the Russians last night. Two cars burned to the ground. The fire was extinguished.
A mobile heating station has been set up at the scene, psychologists are working with the people, and food and warm clothes have been delivered.
Quote from Kiper: “After the attack on Odesa, the Russians started attacking Izmail district. Terrorists sent more than 20 attack drones there. They targeted the port infrastructure there. Fortunately, no people were injured. Only warehouses were damaged.”
The Defence Forces of Ukraine’s south reported that 39 Shahed-136/131 attack UAVs had been launched from temporarily occupied Crimea at civilian infrastructure – and for more than six hours in a row, from evening until late at night, the Russians terrorised the southern oblasts with several waves of drone attacks and launched a missile strike at the same time.
Ukraine’s air defence successfully responded to all the attack drones: 2 drones were destroyed in Kherson Oblast, 5 in Mykolaiv Oblast, and 32 in Odesa Oblast.
In Odesa, pieces of the downed kamikaze drones damaged more than a dozen buildings, mostly residential ones, and set private cars on fire. 11 civilians were reported injured, including 3 children. Search and rescuers promptly extinguished the fires and set up a heating centre.
In the Danube region, the Russians attacked port infrastructure, traditionally sending drones along the Ukrainian-Romanian state border. The falling wreckage damaged the storage facilities of two grain silos. No people were injured.
The missile strike took place in Myroliubivka in Kherson Oblast and Snihurivka in Mykolaiv Oblast.
