A building at the Maritime College in Odesa was damaged as a result of a Russian attack
As a result of the Russian attack on Odesa on the morning of July 16, the building of the Vocational College of Maritime and Railway Transport was damaged. According to preliminary reports, windows were shattered and the roof and ceiling were damaged at the college.
According to the college’s deputy director, Viktoria Lisnik, the strike occurred early in the morning when no one was in the building, so there were no casualties.
She noted that despite the damage, classes will begin on September 1 as scheduled, since the college has other academic buildings.
“This is the main building, but we have other buildings, so classes will still begin on September 1, and nothing will interfere with the academic process. But there’s a lot of work to be done now,” Lisnik said.
According to her, it is currently impossible to assess the extent of the damage or the cost of the restoration work.

As a reminder, two people were killed and five others were injured as a result of a nighttime ballistic strike by Russian forces on Kyiv. Among the victims was a 16-year-old boy who suffered a traumatic amputation of his arm. His father was killed in the attack.
Over the past day, Russian forces launched strikes on the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions, using artillery, attack drones, and aircraft. Three people were killed in the attacks, and more than 20 others were injured.
