The authorities also declared an air raid alert in the Mykolaiv regions and the Ukrainian-controlled part of Kherson.
The official confirmed that Odessa’s energy infrastructure was damaged by Russian attacks.
This escalation came just days after Russian President, Vladimir Putin, confirmed that his country would continue its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which has been hit by previous missiles that have caused major power outages and cold water temperatures in winter.
Destruction in Odessa by Russian bombing
Putin said on the sidelines of a medal presentation ceremony in the Kremlin last week that the bombings were a response to an explosion that damaged the Russia-built Crimea Bridge and other attacks Moscow blamed on Kiev.
The blows continue
Interestingly, Russia has been carrying out precision strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure since October 10, two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge.
And the Ukrainian president said on Wednesday that it is impossible to 100% restore the country’s energy infrastructure to its previous state, and this is the reason for the constant power outages in most of the cities and provinces of Ukraine.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian electricity company Okrinergo confirmed that the electricity grid is still suffering from a large deficit, following the recent Russian strikes.
