However, the attack did not end there. At 08:40, the Ukrainian Air Force reported new jet-powered drones heading toward the Mykolaiv region from the Black Sea.

Due to this new threat, an air raid alert was declared in the Mykolaiv and Voznesensk districts of the region. Ukrainians are urged not to ignore air raid sirens and to remain in shelters until the all-clear is given.

The Mykolaiv region comes under Russian attack almost daily. Recently, in the Bashtanka district, a warehouse belonging to an agricultural enterprise was damaged by a drone strike and falling debris, causing a fire.

In addition, in the Mykolaiv district, Russian occupiers attacked a civilian vehicle with an FPV drone. Two local residents—a 68-year-old man and a 63-year-old woman—were injured and hospitalized.
