Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian city of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region overnight with strike drones. As a result of the attack, the city and its surrounding villages were left without power, according to Chornomorsk Mayor Vasyl Huliaiev.
"The enemy once again attacked our community. Civilian infrastructure and private houses were damaged. Critical infrastructure is currently operating on generators," Huliaiev said.
According to him, there is no information about fatalities at this time, but there are injured. Electricity supply in the community is absent, except for the village of Burlacha Balka. DTEK specialists (a Ukrainian energy company) are already working on restoration.
"We are also beginning to deploy Points of Invincibility (public shelters in Ukraine equipped with heat, power, and internet during outages - ed.). More detailed information, including the addresses of the points, will be announced later," the mayor of Chornomorsk added.

The Odesa region is under attack by Russian forces almost daily. Thus, last night, large fires broke out as a result of a strike by Russian drones. There were hits on the port, injuries, and power outages.
On October 8, the region was once again attacked by enemy strike drones. As a result of that attack, an administrative building and a utility facility were damaged, and a fire broke out.
On October 6, as a result of an attack by Russian Shahed drones, a strike hit an industrial facility, causing a fire.
Earlier, on October 2, the enemy carried out a massive strike on the Odesa depot of Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukraine's state railway company), injuring a train driver.
