Russia targets critical infrastructure in Odesa Oblast
Russian forces launched a drone strike on Odesa Oblast, targeting port infrastructure in the Izmail district, local governor Oleh Kiper reported early on Jan. 17.
Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported as a result of the attack.
“The enemy attacked the port infrastructure," Kiper wrote.
"The strike caused damage to building facades and a residential house. Emergency services are on-site.”
Meanwhile, Russian forces also carried out an overnight drone assault on Kyiv Oblast, injuring a 12-year-old boy. Local authorities reported drone debris falling on a residential area, wounding the child, who was hospitalized with a laceration and a suspected concussion.
The attack ignited a fire in a café-store and an adjacent boiler room, which spread across nearly 200 square meters before being extinguished.
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.
