On Wednesday, July 30, the Standing Committee on Planning, Budget and Finance of the Odesa City Council decided to provide the First Maternity Hospital, which was damaged by Russian armed aggression, with 5 million in funding for a new boiler room.
During the enemy drone attack, 85 adults and 22 children were in the maternity hospital . There were no casualties - everyone was in the shelter. The "Shahed" hit a separate administrative building that was not working at night when the attack took place.
The attack on Odesa on the night of June 10 killed two people and injured nine others. A pre-trial investigation has been launched under Part 2 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, i.e., war crimes that resulted in the death of people. According to the prosecutor's office, residential buildings, a maternity hospital, an emergency medical station, a private medical clinic, a sports complex, a zoo, a railway station building, and residents' vehicles were damaged.
Earlier, Odesa and Chornomorsk were attacked by drones in the middle of the day. Eyewitnesses say that vacationers were in no hurry to take cover, watching the air defense work. The townspeople also reported a large column of smoke, possibly due to a hit or falling debris.
A woman was killed in a nighttime drone attack by the Russian army on July 18 in Odesa. The attack also caused a fire to break out on the 6th to 9th floors of a 9-story residential building. The fire was extinguished by rescuers and volunteers. Five people were rescued from the burning apartments. Pets were also evacuated from the damaged apartments.
