The car dealership in wreckage
The main impact was on civilian objects, including the dealership. The building was heavily damaged, and nearly 30 nearby parked cars were destroyed by fire and debris. Mykhailo, the security guard, miraculously survived the explosions despite being on duty at the time.
"They were flying and buzzing, and then they started hitting. First there, and then here. When they hit right above your head, it's really scary," said Mykhailo.
Damage to the power facility
As a result of the nighttime attack, the enemy struck the energy infrastructure of the Odesa region again. The damage is extremely serious and will take a long time to repair. Emergency crews are currently clearing the rubble and eliminating the consequences of the shelling at the sites of the attacks. The primary task is to restore power to critical infrastructure.
