Night attack on Odesa and Dnipro region: casualties, destruction
Consequences of the Russian attack on residential buildings
On the night of 13 January, an attack by Russian troops on Odesa and the Dnipro region resulted in significant civilian casualties and damage to critical infrastructure. Hospitals, kindergartens and energy facilities were damaged, and six people were injured.

On the night of 12-13 January, Odesa was targeted by two waves of drone attacks by Russian forces. The main destruction was recorded in the central part of the city, where numerous residential buildings and social facilities, including a hospital, kindergarten, school, lyceum, and other institutions, were damaged.

According to local administrations, the number of injured has increased to six people aged 35 to 68. Two of them sustained moderate injuries and were hospitalised, while the rest were provided with medical assistance on the spot. All the injured are under medical supervision.

In order to support the residents of the affected buildings, the city has organised the creation of operational headquarters and resilience centres where residents can turn to. Utilities and law enforcement agencies are also actively working.

The energy infrastructure of Odesa has been severely damaged. The attack destroyed two key energy facilities, which resulted in a power cut for 47,000 households. DTEK Odesa Power Grids reported that the damage was extensive and that the restoration work could take a long time. The power company started repairs only after coordination with rescuers and the military.

On the same evening, Russian troops launched a massive attack on Dnipropetrovska oblast. The Zelenodolsk community was hit by missile and drone attacks, which caused a fire, damaging infrastructure, private homes and a gas pipeline. A 69-year-old woman was injured and hospitalised.

Vasylkivska community of Synelnyky district was also attacked. An 86-year-old man was injured and taken to hospital. Damage was reported to residential buildings, cars and a gas pipeline. In the Solonyanska community, several houses were damaged, and in the Nikopol district, Russians struck with FPV drones, damaging cars and power lines.

Ukrainian services continue to work to eliminate the consequences of the attacks and document war crimes committed against civilians.
