Attack on the Odesa region
Russian forces regularly attack Odesa and the surrounding region, using drones and various types of missiles.
For example, on the night of December 3, Russian forces struck the region’s energy infrastructure with drones. In particular, enemy attacks in the Odesa region caused a fire at an energy facility and damaged equipment. In addition, a worker at the enterprise was injured.
A few days earlier, on the night of November 2, the enemy also carried out a massive attack in the southern part of the Odesa region. As a result of the attack, energy and civilian facilities were damaged, leaving thousands of residents without electricity.
