Massive Russian Drone Attack Triggers Fires and Devastation in Odessa
On the night of September 13-14, Russian forces launched an unprecedented drone attack, resulting in significant destruction across Odessa.
The aggressors carried out a massive missile strike targeting textile warehouses and sewing equipment, which led to large-scale fires covering over 5,000 square meters.
Preliminary reports indicate that at least one person was injured, one vehicle was destroyed, and other property sustained damage.
These details were provided by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service.
The firefighting efforts were hampered by extensive petroleum presence and the lack of a proper fire water supply system at the site.
To extinguish the blaze, 16 units of equipment and over 50 rescuers were involved, including units from the National Guard, municipal services, and volunteers.
Meanwhile, similar incidents occurred in the Chernihiv region, where Russian drones attacked energy infrastructure and civilian objects, causing damage and disruptions.
Emergency services noted that firefighting was complicated by heavy fire loads and the absence of an adequate water supply system.
These events once again highlight how Russian aggression continues to threaten regional safety and infrastructure.
