The number of victims as a result of the Russian drone attack on Odesa in the evening of November 14 has increased, the head of the regional military administration Oleg Kiper said.

“Currently, eight people are known to have been injured as a result of the Russian attack. Among them is a 9-year-old boy, he is in a moderate condition in the hospital. Also, among the injured adults, a 22-year-old boy is in a serious condition, the other injured in a moderate condition have been admitted to medical institutions of the city and region. They are provided with all the necessary assistance,” Oleg Kiper writes.

A local official clarified that “as a result of the evening attack, an apartment building in the center of Odessa was destroyed, apartments caught fire, high-rise buildings, about three dozen cars were damaged, and a fire broke out on the territory of a public institution and a two-story building.”

“The central heating main pipeline was also damaged due to enemy shelling. The boiler room is temporarily stopped, repair works are being carried out. The damaged branch of the heating network heated 220 apartment buildings (40 thousand residents), 7 kindergartens, 4 schools,” said Kiper.

As the head of the administration notes, “the boiler house also served one of the maternity hospitals of Odesa. Now there are 28 women in labor and 22 infants. The facility has air conditioners, heaters, a powerful generator and a sufficient supply of fuel. Currently, the maternity ward will be able to heat itself autonomously, using its own resources.”

On November 14, the Russian military again carried out a massive drone attack on Odesa and the district. Earlier it was known about one death and two wounded.

The Russian military regularly attacks Ukrainian regions with various types of weapons – attack UAVs, rockets, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles.

The leadership of Russia denies that the Russian army during a full-scale war inflicts targeted strikes on the civilian infrastructure of the cities and villages of Ukraine, killing the civilian population and destroying hospitals, schools, kindergartens, energy and water supply facilities.

The Ukrainian authorities and international organizations qualify these strikes as war crimes by Russia.
