Quote: “Energy infrastructure was damaged in the attack. Emergency power outages are in effect in some parts of the city. Utility services have started working on setting up generators to allow for the operation of critical infrastructure, including boiler houses. Additional invincibility centres are already opening (425 are currently functioning).” [Invincibility centres are heated premises stocked with food and power banks to assist residents facing hardships due to power cuts – ed.]
Details: Two houses and a business centre were also damaged due to fallen drone wreckage and blast waves.
Update: Later, Kiper reported that four residents of Odesa were injured in the attack.
Quote from Kiper: “Unfortunately, three people, residents of private properties, suffered shrapnel wounds and limb fractures. They were transferred to hospitals in a moderate condition. Another civilian, who at the time of the attack was at a business centre, suffered a concussion.
Medical professionals are currently providing everyone with the necessary assistance.”
Details: Emergency workers showed the aftermath of the Russian UAV attack on Odesa. Fires broke out in a couple of locations in the city.
Trukhanov noted that the operation of three boiler houses had been suspended due to damage to the energy infrastructure.
Quote from Trukhanov: “They were supplied with power already, so heating in the buildings has been restored.”
