On the night of December 11, the Russian military launched a drone attack on Odesa region, aimed at civilian, energy and transport infrastructure, the head of the regional military administration Oleg Kiper said.

“Most of the enemy’s aerial targets were eliminated by air defense forces, however, damage to the energy facility was recorded. Two nearby private houses were also damaged, the windows and doors of the administration building were broken. The fires that broke out were promptly extinguished by rescuers,” he wrote in a telegram.

According to the head of the OVA, there was no information about the dead and injured.

The State Service for Emergency Situations noted that the Ukrzaliznytsia fire train, more than 50 firefighters and 13 pieces of equipment were used to extinguish the fire.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has been striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Since the beginning of the fall of 2025, the Russian military has increased its shelling of the Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, which supplies people with gas during the heating season.

In Ukraine, due to damage to energy facilities as a result of Russian shelling, hourly blackout schedules and capacity limitation schedules are used for industrial consumers and businesses.
