The night of July 6 was a turbulent one for Mykolaiv region, as the region suffered another massive attack by Shahed-type attack drones.

According to Vitaliy Kim, head of the Mykolaiv Regional Air Defense Command, the air defense forces were actively working, and some of the drones were shot down, but some enemy vehicles reached their targets.

In Mykolaiv, the port infrastructure was hit, damaging warehouses and power grids. However, there were no civilian casualties.

The Koblivska community in Mykolaiv district, in particular the village of Rybakivka, suffered the most damage. The shelling damaged 13 private houses, buildings on the territory of several recreation centers, the Ukrposhta office and a local store.

The shelling caused fires in the dry grass and dining room of one of the recreation centers, which were quickly extinguished by rescuers. Power lines were also damaged, leaving more than half a thousand subscribers without electricity.

According to preliminary reports, there were no casualties. Emergency services are working on the ground to determine the extent of the damage and to eliminate the consequences of the shelling.

Earlier, the Russians launched a missile attack on Ochakiv, using X-59/69 missiles. Two high-rise buildings, 22 private houses, a power line and a car were damaged. A brush fire broke out and was quickly extinguished. Three people were injured in the shelling, including two children - a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl - and a 46-year-old woman. All the victims are in hospital and are being provided with medical care. The condition of the hospitalized is assessed as moderate. Residential buildings were damaged.
