Russian strikes on Ochakiv and the Mykolaiv region

Ochakiv is located on the northern coast of the Dnipro-Buzka estuary and is regularly attacked by Russians. According to Shaikhet, the occupiers periodically shell the city, using multiple rocket launchers.

At the end of May, the Russians shelled the city three times. The enemy once again targeted residential buildings and vital infrastructure, injuring one person.

During a massive attack on Ukraine overnight, Russian occupiers also targeted the resort area near Kobleve in the Mykolaiv region. Two people were injured.
