Port and energy sites damaged in Odesa Oblast after massive drone assault
Russian troops attacked a port and energy structure in the Izmail district of Odesa Oblast overnight into Thursday, the Izmail District State Administration reported.
There is damage in two locations - in the city of Izmail and the Vylkove territorial community.
Civilian infrastructure was also hit, causing fires. One person was wounded, according to the State Emergency Service.
Odesa Oblast Military Administration head Oleh Kiper said power outages occurred in several settlements. Critical infrastructure was switched to backup generators, and restoration work is underway.
Rescuers operated at multiple sites while repeated air raid alerts complicated their efforts.
