Quote from Kiper: "On the night of 16-17 November, Russian terrorists once again carried out a large-scale strike on Odesa Oblast using attack drones. Explosions rang out in several cities. Despite the effective work of our air defence, damage to energy and port infrastructure has been recorded."

Details: According to Kiper, several civilian vessels were damaged during the attack. Fires that broke out were promptly extinguished by firefighters. "Sadly, one person was injured. Recovery work is ongoing," he added.

That same night, the Russians also struck the Pavlohrad district in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast with drones, damaging a transport company.

Haivanenko reported that the Russians had additionally attacked the city of Nikopol, as well as the Marhanets and Pokrovske hromadas, targeting them with FPV drones and artillery. There were no casualties. [A hromada is an administrative unit designating a village, several villages, or a town, and their adjacent territories – ed.]
