Russian forces attacked Odesa Oblast with Shahed drones, hitting civilian infrastructure and triggering a large-scale fire, regional governor Oleh Kiper reported on Oct. 13.
One person was injured in the attack.
Warehouses storing textiles, clothing, and packaging materials caught fire. Firefighters continue working to extinguish the blaze, which has spread across an area of about 5,000 square meters.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES) reported that the absence of a fire water supply complicated the firefighting effort, so water was supplied from nearby facilities and reservoirs.
Explosions were reported in Odesa overnight, with the Ukrainian Air Force warning residents of Shahed drones flying over the city.
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.
