A fire broke out at an energy infrastructure facility during the nighttime Russian attack on Odessa. An administrative building, seven apartment buildings, and passenger cars were also damaged, emergency services reported.
“As a result of the shockwave, people were trapped in two apartments. Rescuers and police rescued them and handed them over to medical care,” the State Emergency Situations Service reported.
According to the Odessa Oblast authorities, six people were injured, including two who were pulled out of the blocked premises.
The fire was quickly brought under control, despite the renewed air raid alert.
