“Explosions in the capital. Go to shelters immediately,” wrote Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko on Telegram. Russian combat drones had previously damaged power supplies in the Odessa and Mykolaiv regions of southern Ukraine. As a result, there was a partial power outage in Odessa.
The Ukrainian Air Force said two ballistic missiles were fired over Kiev. According to US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, the attacks were carried out using hypersonic missiles. Debris from a rocket damaged a residential building in Kiev, according to the city administration. According to the city administration, local public transport with trams and trolleybuses in Odessa had to be stopped.
Nobody was injured. The energy supplier Ukrenerho said a substation was also damaged and caught fire in the Mykolaiv region. According to the military, debris from a drone also fell onto a two-story residential building there. It caught fire. Eleven people were injured, two of them seriously.
Reinforced against energy supply
The Ukrainian army announced early in the morning that eight of nine Russian drones that took off from the Crimean peninsula were shot down during the night. As the Ukrinform news agency also reported, there were six air strikes on the Zaporizhia region and artillery shelling on four locations in the eastern border region of Sumy.
The Russian army has been increasing its air strikes against Ukraine’s energy supply for several days now. This caused major problems, especially in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The repairs to the network there would take about another week, said Ukrenerho boss Volodymyr Kudryzkyj on Ukrainian television.
In Russia, there was a fire on Monday night at the Novocherkassk power and thermal power plant, the largest plant of its kind in the Rostov region. Unofficial information here indicated a Ukrainian drone attack. The regional administration officially announced that the cause of the fire was being investigated. The fire had been extinguished. Two units of the power plant and two transmission lines were switched off.
The region’s governor, Vasily Golubev, spoke of eleven Ukrainian drones that had been shot down. Ukraine has been fending off a large-scale Russian invasion for over two years. It has increased the range of its drones in recent months and is primarily attacking targets in the Russian oil industry.
