A Russian jet-powered UAV struck the premises of a facility in the Odesa region. Three tanker trucks were damaged as a result of the attack. 

This was reported by Oleg Kipper, head of the Odesa Regional State Administration.

The strike caused a fire, which was quickly extinguished by emergency responders. There were no casualties.

As reported by Intent, on the night of September 19, Russian forces attacked an administrative building on Serednofontanska Street in Odesa for the third time that day. A fire broke out on the upper floors.

At other locations, the roofs, facades, and windows of two residential buildings, as well as a passenger car and a minibus, were damaged. A two-story educational facility also sustained damage.

As Intent previously reported, on the afternoon of September 18, a Russian jet-powered drone struck this same administrative building. Shortly thereafter, Russia attacked the site again while rescue workers and other emergency services were already on the scene. Ten people were injured in the strike, including two rescue workers. Their lives are not in danger.

Starting early in the morning on September 19, two districts of Odesa and its suburbs were partially without power. This was caused by a massive attack by Russian forces on the region. The shelling led to emergency power outages in parts of the Odesa region, specifically in the Peresypskyi and Primorskyi districts of Odesa.
