Quote from Kiper: "The enemy has once again attacked civilian infrastructure in Odesa Oblast. Strikes on civilian facilities were recorded despite the active air defence response and the downing of enemy drones. A large-scale fire has broken out over an area of more than 5,000 sq m."
Details: One person has been injured.
The State Emergency Service reported that the strikes have caused fires in warehouses storing textile products (fabrics, clothing and packaging materials) and sewing equipment. A car was also destroyed by fire.
"The heavy fire load and the lack of a firefighting water supply at the scene have complicated the efforts to deal with the aftermath of the attack. Firefighters have organised a continuous water supply from nearby sources," the State Emergency Service wrote.
A total of 56 firefighters and 16 fire appliances from the State Emergency Service have been deployed, with additional support from the Avanhard Centre for Public Safety, a National Guard fire crew and local volunteers.
