The facility had been hit previously on April 16, April 20 and
April 28. Regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said a fire at
the city’s oil refinery had also been extinguished Thursday,
less than 24 hours before the latest strike.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks continued to strike Ukraine.
Russia attacked the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil with over
50 drones on Friday, Mayor Serhii Nadal said.
Hits were recorded in industrial facilities and infrastructure,
he said. At least 10 people were wounded, he added, while some
neighborhoods remain without electricity as a result of the mass
attack.
Two multi-story residential buildings and port infrastructure in
Odesa were damaged after Russian forces launched another
overnight drone attack on the southern region, local authorities
said.
As a result of the strikes, an apartment in a 16-story building
was destroyed and the roof caught fire. In another high-rise
residential building, a fire engulfed the 12th floor, according
to Ukraine's Emergency Service.
In a post on Telegram, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
said at least five people were wounded in the region. He said
damage from overnight attacks was also recorded in the central
city of Kryvyi Rih and the northeastern Kharkiv region, where
railway infrastructure was hit.
“Russia continues to attack our energy infrastructure, critical
infrastructure, and civilian objects. Tonight, there were 210
drone strikes, and about 140 of them were “Shahed” drones,”
Zelenskyy wrote.
