Only vital infrastructure such as hospitals and maternity clinics could maintain supplies
The city of Odessa, in southern Ukraine, was left without electricity on Saturday after a Russian nighttime suicide drone attack. Only critical infrastructures such as hospitals and maternity clinics were able to maintain their power supply. The city authorities asked the population for time to restore supplies, as according to the deputy head of the presidential office, Kiril Timoshenko, and the city’s mayor, Gennady Trujanov, the Russian drone strikes before dawn caused serious damage to the power grid.
Regarding the attack, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported that about 15 unmanned aerial vehicles intervened, including several Iranian aircraft, ten of which were intercepted.
For its part, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that this Saturday there were new Ukrainian bombings in various parts of Donetsk, in the east of the country and the scene of an upsurge in fighting. At least one was reported injured in these attacks.
“Ukrainian forces attacked Donetsk three times within three minutes — between 7:07 p.m. and 7:10 p.m. local time — with NATO-caliber artillery,” the Russian ministry said in a statement collected by the official TASS news agency.
