В ніч на Новий рік Одеса зазнала удару безпілотників: вогонь і проблеми з електропостачанням.

Attack on the energy infrastructure of the Odessa region

On New Year's night, Russian forces attacked the energy infrastructure of the Odessa region with drones. The strike occurred just minutes before the start of 2026, leading to a fire at one of the facilities. As a result of this attack, power outages were recorded at critical enterprises in Odessa.

Situation in Zaporizhzhia

This attack on the energy infrastructure is not the only incident on New Year's Eve. Russian forces also attacked Zaporizhzhia with strike drones. As a result of the shelling, five civilians were injured, including a 15-year-old boy. The situation in the region remains complicated due to the ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure.

These attacks highlight the continuation of the conflict and its impact on the civilian population, especially during the festive season. The attack on the energy infrastructure in Odessa and the shelling of Zaporizhzhia indicate an increasing threat to civilians and critical facilities, which may negatively affect the stability of the region and the provision of energy needs for the population.
