In Odesa, as a result of the falling debris from a downed enemy kamikaze drone by the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces, there was a power outage at a critical infrastructure facility, and a fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished, according to the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine.
The military clarified that there were no casualties.
In the operational command South, it was noted that the Russian occupiers directed their night drone terror from the Black Sea waters along the coastal territories of the southern part of the country.
