On the night of March 7, air defense forces were operating in Mykolaiv region. The enemy shelled the Kutsurubska community and attacked Ochakiv with a drone, damaging a house.

According to the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, on the night of March 7, air defense forces were engaged in combat operations in the Mykolaiv region.

On March 6, at around 16:53, Russian troops shelled the Kutsurubska community with artillery. No casualties were reported.

In the morning, at 6:20 a.m., the enemy attacked Ochakiv with an FPV attack drone. The attack damaged a window of a private house, but there were no casualties.

On the night of March 2, the air defense forces destroyed five Shahed 131/136 drones over the Mykolaiv region.

On March 1, the Russian military attacked the Kutsurub community twice with FPV drones, damaging a car and power lines, leaving four settlements without electricity.

On the night of February 28, five Shahed 131/136 were also shot down. Around 00:16 am, the city was hit again by kamikaze drones, the wreckage of which fell on the territory of a manufacturing plant. As a result, a large-scale fire broke out, completely destroying a cargo van. In addition, the warehouse and another truck sustained significant damage.

Around midnight on February 16, kamikaze drones hit a manufacturing facility, causing a fire that destroyed a truck and damaged a warehouse. The massive strike hit a critical facility in the city, damaging high-rise buildings, shops and offices.

The blast wave and debris damaged residential and commercial infrastructure: five multi-storey buildings, four shops, a catering facility and several offices.

Meanwhile, the Romanian Senate has approved laws that would make it illegal to shoot down offending drones and conduct military operations in peacetime. One allows shooting down drones that illegally cross the country's airspace, and the other authorizes military missions and operations in peacetime.
