The enemy attacked the Kutsurubska and Ochakivska communities with drones, damaging houses, cars and power lines. The hits caused destruction and fires.

This was reported by the press service of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration.

On April 22, Russian troops attacked the Kutsurub community nine times with FPV drones. In the village of Solonchaky, a private house, a garage, a summer kitchen, and a car were damaged by shelling.

In Parutyno, a drone hit an electricity pole - power engineers are already working to restore electricity. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

The next morning, on April 23, at around 4 a.m., the enemy attacked the water area of the Ochakiv community, and almost two hours later, the city of Ochakiv itself. This time, there were no casualties.

On April 19, the enemy attacked the Kutsurub community five times with FPV drones. The main blow fell on the village of Dmytrivka: three private houses, an outbuilding, a car and agricultural machinery were damaged. One of the shells caused a fire on the roof of a two-story building.

This is not the first series of shelling in recent days. On the night of April 16, air defense forces shot down three Shahed 131/136s over Mykolaiv region. And on April 15, the Kutsurub community experienced eight attacks: one of them left four villages without electricity, but emergency services quickly restored the power. Fortunately, no one was injured.

No fewer attacks were recorded in the Ochakivska community: on April 10 alone, 28 Shahed kamikaze drones were shot down over its waters. Ten people were injured in the attack on Mykolaiv, and dozens of buildings, cars and garages were damaged by explosions. One of the strikes hit the city at 2:45 a.m. Nine high-rise buildings, 30 garages, three cars and an administrative building were damaged. Fires broke out in an apartment and a garage cooperative.

The enemy also regularly attacks Kutsurubska and Ochakivska communities with FPV drones and artillery.
