Russian occupiers launched a new attack on Mykolaiv Oblast, causing destruction and injuries among civilians
The tragedy occurred during the night when the aggressors attacked the region using unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles, further highlighting the scale and extent of enemy actions against the peaceful population of southern Ukraine. According to official information from the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration, the Ochakiv community was under missile attack. Around 2 a.m., an attack was carried out on one of the settlements in the community — Halytsynivka — using an FPV-type drone. As a result of the attack, a seven-year-old girl sustained minor injuries; medical assistance was promptly provided on-site. Additionally, two private residential buildings and three cars were damaged during the shelling, which dealt an additional blow to local infrastructure and the lives of residents. Another worrying incident was the attack on the city of Ochakiv, which occurred at 2 a.m. The enemy launched a missile strike on a recreational facility. Fortunately, this attack did not cause any casualties but resulted in significant material damage — the building used as a leisure venue was damaged, and some private properties were partially destroyed or damaged, negatively impacting the city’s infrastructure. A further attack took place between 01:06 and 01:18 at night, when occupiers targeted the Snihurivka community with Shahed 131/136-type unmanned aerial vehicles. As a result of this attack, a non-residential building, two residential houses, and power lines were damaged in the village of Vasylivka. This caused a temporary power outage for about 200 residents, although as of now, electricity supply has been nearly restored. Thanks to the quick response of Ukrainian military and law enforcement units, there were no casualties among civilians. These new attacks once again confirm that the occupation troops continue to use all available means to destabilize peaceful life in southern Ukraine. Local authorities and defense forces are making every effort to minimize the consequences of these attacks and protect civilians. At the same time, regional residents are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety rules, as the enemy is employing new tactics and weapons, including drones and missiles, making these attacks particularly dangerous. Official representatives of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration emphasize that any manifestations of enemy actions will be firmly suppressed, and those responsible for terrorist acts will be brought to justice. The official policy remains unchanged — protecting the lives and property of Ukrainian citizens is a priority in this war. Residents of the region are encouraged not to ignore alarm signals, to stay calm, and to follow safety recommendations to avoid irreparable consequences in case of repeated attacks.
