Russian forces carried out another massive drone attack on Odesa, damaging critical infrastructure and leaving one of the city’s densely populated districts without electricity, water, and heating, regional Governor Serhiy Lysak reported on Telegram shortly after midnight on Dec. 19.
At least one person was hospitalized with injuries.
Several apartment buildings were damaged. Emergency and utility services are on the scene.
“Specialists are already working on restoration,” Lysak said, adding that authorities are assessing the extent of damage to housing and collecting information to provide assistance to affected residents.
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.
