Russian troops attacked a highway in the Odesa region with rocket-powered drones on October 6. Trucks and passenger cars were damaged, and at least five people are known to have been injured.
This was reported by Oleg Kipper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration.
According to him, the enemy launched a series of strikes on a highway in the region. Trucks and passenger cars were damaged.
There are reports of five casualties so far. Two of them have been hospitalized, and one is in extremely critical condition. Doctors are providing all necessary care and fighting to save the lives and health of each patient.
Relevant emergency services are on the scene.
Since early this morning, the Air Force has repeatedly warned of jet-powered drones moving toward the Odesa region. They were detected, in particular, coming from the Mykolaiv region and the Black Sea.
As previously reported by Intent, more than 50 State Emergency Service rescuers were deployed to address the aftermath of the nighttime attack on Odesa. The strike damaged a private company’s building. No one was injured. Cleanup efforts at the site were ongoing.
Russian attacks have also repeatedly targeted civilian shipping in the Black Sea. In particular, a Russian strike drone damaged a vessel carrying rapeseed oil. One person was killed in the attack, and seven others were injured.
Previously, Russian drones had also attacked a civilian vessel flying the Turkish flag that was transporting corn in the neutral waters of the Black Sea. The ship’s captain was killed in that incident, and one other person was reported missing.
In addition to attacks on shipping, Russian strikes caused large-scale fires in the Odesa region. Following one of the massive attacks, port and industrial infrastructure facilities, as well as a residential area, caught fire. Due to heavy smoke, State Emergency Service specialists conducted a survey of the area to assess radiation, chemical, and biological safety.
