On the night of August 9, Russian forces carried out a combined strike on the city using drones and ballistic missiles — resulting in destruction and casualties. On the same day, parts of the city were left without electricity and water supply, and tram service was temporarily suspended.

It later emerged that Odesa's energy infrastructure had been more severely damaged than initially apparent, meaning that restoring power would take longer than expected.
