In the south of the Odesa region, two people were injured as a result of a massive Russian attack, and significant damage to civilian infrastructure has been reported. 

This was reported by Oleg Kipper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, on Telegram.

According to him, a 56-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man were injured in the strike. The woman was hospitalized in critical condition with multiple shrapnel wounds.

The district hospital also sustained significant damage. The emergency room was completely destroyed, and the internal medicine, cardiology, and surgery departments, as well as ultrasound and X-ray rooms and other facilities, were damaged. Patients and staff were evacuated to shelters during the attack; there were no casualties among them.

Separately, there are reports of residential buildings being destroyed and a fire breaking out on the territory of the Danube Biosphere Reserve.

Emergency services are on the scene, and cleanup efforts are underway. Law enforcement officials are documenting yet another war crime committed by Russia.

Russian troops have attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region nearly 20 times with drones, shelled it with artillery, and dropped aerial bombs. The Nikopol and Synelnykiv districts were hit, with damage to infrastructure and homes reported.

The day before, Russian troops carried out about 50 attacks on the Dnipropetrovsk region throughout the day, using drones and artillery. Two people were killed and 11 others were wounded as a result of the shelling.
