The small town of Chornomorsk in Odesa region experienced a difficult night. Since midnight, the Russians attacked it with kamikaze drones, one of which hit a high-rise building in a residential area. People were sleeping in their beds and miraculously were not injured when the UAV crashed into their balcony, where the fire started.

Novyny.LIVE journalists saw what the house looks like now.

Drone attack

Residents of Chornomorsk said that they still cannot recover from this hit, because everything happened very quickly and there were only a few minutes to react somehow. Most of the people hid in corridors and entrances, which helped them to save themselves.

Got away only with shock

The house itself was almost undamaged. Burnt apartments on three floors can be seen from the outside. Fortunately, the residents of the neighboring high-rise buildings were only frightened by the loud noises.

"I live on the ninth floor. My grandson told me that it's better to hide. Well, I managed to go down to the fourth floor when the explosion rang out. Everything survived, thank God, only the cat was very scared," Viktoria Prokopivna said.

And the city itself is gradually returning to normal life. Electricity and water supply have already been restored in the house, so people are putting their homes in order. Only the owners of completely burned-out housing will spend the night outside the city, and from tomorrow they will start rebuilding.

It should be reminded, that as a result of the night attack of the Russians in Chornomorsk, apartments on the fourth, fifth and sixth floors were on fire, which covered an area of ​​100 square meters.

Explosions also rang out in Odesa itself. The Russians attacked the city with ballistic missiles that hit the port infrastructure.
