Quote from Kiper: "The Russians have launched a large-scale attack on Odesa district using strike drones. Despite the active work of air defence forces, an energy infrastructure facility has been damaged. Warehouses, an administrative building and a garage have also been damaged. Fires broke out at the scene and were promptly extinguished by firefighters."

Details: Kiper said that there were no casualties, but several settlements were temporarily left without power.

He reported that energy workers had already begun repair work and that critical infrastructure was currently operating on generators.

Lysak added that a residential building and civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged and part of the city was left without power as a result of the night-time attack in Odesa.

Quote from Lysak: "Public services are clearing the debris, helping to board up broken windows and assessing people's needs. Energy workers are already working on repairs. Despite the difficult conditions, nursery schools and schools will remain open as they are equipped with generators."
