Utility services have started working on setting up generators to allow for the operation of critical infrastructure, including boiler houses. Additional invincibility centres are being opened (425 are currently functioning)."

Medical professionals are currently providing everyone with the necessary assistance."
Details: Emergency workers posted photos showing the aftermath of the Russian UAV attack on Odesa. Fires broke out in a couple of locations in the city.
Trukhanov noted that the operation of three boiler houses had been suspended due to damage to the energy infrastructure.
