At least five explosions were heard in the city of Podilsk (Odesa Oblast) during an air-raid alert, Suspilne reported on Oct. 29.
Around 2 a.m., the Air Force warned of incoming strike drones moving from the Black Sea toward Odesa Oblast. At 3:37 a.m. a series of explosions was recorded in Podilsk, after which the city lost power.
By about 5 a.m., authorities said Russia struck critical infrastructure sites. As a result of the strike, the city was left without electricity; some districts also lost water supply.
Preliminarily — no casualties reported.
The air-raid alert was lifted at about 3:40 a.m. in Oblast. Emergency and energy crews are working at the scene.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
