Russian forces launched a massive Shahed drone strike on Odesa Oblast, damaging energy and port infrastructure — including several civilian vessels, regional governor Oleh Kiper reported on Nov. 17.
Explosions shook multiple cities across Oblast overnight.
One person was injured.
State Emergency Service wrote the strikes caused fires at energy facilities and in the port area. Emergency crews are working to restore power and contain the damage.
Earlier in the night, multiple explosions were reported in Izmail, Odesa Oblast, as air raid sirens warned of incoming strike drones.
At the same time, Russia struck the city of Balakliia in Kharkiv Oblast. Missiles hit a densely built residential district, killing at least three people and injuring 13 others, including four children.
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.
