Russian forces attacked Odesa and Mykolaiv again on the morning of December 13. Explosions were heard in the cities amid a drone attack, according to Suspilne News and Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych.
Explosions were again heard in Odesa at around 05:42 AM, according to correspondents.
Shortly before that, the Air Force warned that drones were heading toward the city from the northeast and urged residents to remain in shelters until the air raid alert was lifted.
Some time later, an explosion was also heard in Mykolaiv. The city’s mayor reported another explosion at around 05:59 AM, warning of a drone threat to the city. About half an hour earlier, the Air Force had also warned that drones were approaching Mykolaiv.
Where air raid alerts were issued
As of 06:08 AM, the air raid alert remained in effect in Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Cherkasy, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk regions.
Strike on Odesa
Overnight on Saturday, December 13, Russian forces carried out a massive attack on Odesa and the region using drones and missiles.
The city was under attack for several hours. Russian forces first launched drones, followed by Kalibr cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and, apparently, Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missiles.
At present, there is no official information on the consequences. It is only known that power and water supply disruptions occurred in the city after the attack.
There were also reports that Kherson and Mykolaiv regions partially experienced blackouts.
More details on the consequences are available in the RBC-Ukraine report.
