"If it is necessary to refer a patient to healthcare facilities in the central part of the region, the Department of Health provides control, operational support and the optimal route. I ask the residents of the southern Odesa region to remain calm and trust the professionalism and dedication of medical workers. The healthcare system of the region is working smoothly and reliably," Oleg Kiper said.

In the evening of December 18, during an attack in Odesa region, an enemy attack drone hit a bridge connecting settlements in the area of the Dniester estuary and also hit a bridge over the Dniester River near the village of Mayaki. There, it hit a civilian car that was crossing the bridge. The car was occupied by a woman with three children. The mother was seriously injured and died in an ambulance.
