Repair of a nine-story building damaged by Russians begins in Odesa

Employees of the High-Tech Elit-Stroy Limited Liability Company have begun repairing the facade of a nine-story building at 3 Oleksandr Kutuzakiy Street, damaged as a result of Russian aggression.

According to Itent's correspondent, the builders have now reinforced the edges of the hole in the walls with bricks and are preparing the taurus for reinforcement with metal.

Two days after the hit on July 26, a balcony on the ninth floor of this high-rise collapsed. A massive drone attack on Odesa on July 24 damaged residential buildings, causing large-scale fires and destruction, including in a high-rise building. At least three people were injured, five were rescued from the rubble, and the city suffered significant damage to its civilian infrastructure.

A nine-story residential building sustained the most damage. In one of the entrances, apartments from the 5th to the 8th floor were completely destroyed, and fires broke out on the 5th and 6th floors. Five people were rescued from the blocked apartments, and 33 others were evacuated. The State Emergency Service set up an Unbreakable Point near the building, and psychologists from the State Emergency Service and the National Police worked with the residents.

The rubble was difficult to clear because of the high probability of collapse - the movement of structures is recorded by special seismographic equipment. Dog handlers were engaged to search for possible victims. In the evening of the same day, rescuers removed the body of the deceased from the rubble of the high-rise building. The victim was 32 years old.

In early September, the Department of City Improvement of Odesa City Council signed an agreement with the limited liability company Hi-Tech Elite-Stroy to repair a residential building at 3 Oleksandr Kutuzakiya Street. The company has to complete the repairs by December 31, 2025, and receive UAH 10 million 110.9 thousand for this.
