Late on March 3, Russians attacked Odesa with strike drones. The attack caused damage and power outages, according to Odesa region Governor Oleh Kiper and the city's Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov.
"As a result of the strike, there is damage to the energy infrastructure. Currently, there are emergency power outages in parts of the city. Utility services have already started working to activate generators for critical infrastructure, including heating stations. Additional 'unbreakable points' are being set up (425 are already operating)," Kiper wrote.
Moreover, due to the falling debris and shockwaves, two private houses and a business center were damaged. No information regarding casualties has been reported so far.
Trukhanov also confirmed this information, posting relevant updates through his official sources.
