The Ukrainian port of Odesa was hit by Russian drone attacks that damaged all non-critical infrastructure in the region, leaving 1.5 million people without any power.
According to Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office, two power facilities in Odesa were targeted by Russia using the Iran-made Shahed-136 drones. In the southern regions of Odesa and Mykolaiv, Russia launched 15 drones against targets, of which 10 were shot down, claimed Ukraine’s armed forces on Saturday. Serhiy Bratchuk, a spokesperson for Odesa’s regional administration, said that electricity for Odesa’s population will be restored in the “coming days,” but warned that a complete network restoration can take two to three months, according to Reuters.
