Russian strikes on the energy infrastructure in the Odesa region left about 135,000 residents without power. A woman was killed in the Russian strike, according to Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.
"Russia continues to attack the energy infrastructure of the Odesa region," Kiper emphasizes.
The Russians damaged energy facilities on the evening of November 10 and the morning of November 11. As a result, emergency power outages began in several districts of the region.
Currently, approximately 135,000 residents in parts of the Bolhrad, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and Odesa districts remain temporarily without power.
Energy workers from Ukrenergo and DTEK Odesa Power Grids are already addressing the consequences of the Russian attack.
While repairs are underway, local authorities have opened additional humanitarian points.
Initially, Kiper reported that one person had been injured in the Russian attack and was receiving medical care. Later, he stated that the victim was a 70-year-old woman and had died as a result of the Russian attack.
She was hospitalized in extremely critical condition with multiple injuries. Doctors fought to save her life until the very end, but were unable to save her.
On the night of November 11, Russia attacked Ukraine with 163 drones and a Kh-59/69 guided air-to-ground missile.
As of 8 a.m. Kyiv time, air defense forces had destroyed or neutralized 144 targets, with hits recorded at 17 locations.
On the evening of November 10, the Russians launched a massive drone attack on Kryvyi Rih, targeting critical infrastructure.
As a result, the city was partially left without power, and apartment buildings, schools, and kindergartens sustained damage.
