On November 14, a massive enemy shelling took place in Odesa, as a result of which at least 8 people were injured. A child is among the wounded. All victims receive the necessary medical assistance in the city’s hospitals.

As a result of the attack, one of the apartment buildings in the city center was destroyed, several apartments caught fire. The fire also engulfed about 30 cars, as well as partially damaged a two-story building and the territory of one of the public institutions.

In addition, as a result of shelling, the pipeline that supplies heat to a large part of the city was damaged. Because of this, the operation of the boiler house, which provided heating for 220 apartment buildings and several schools and kindergartens, was temporarily stopped. This boiler room also served the maternity hospital, which housed 28 women and 22 newborns at the time of the attack. Fortunately, thanks to the available backup systems, the institution is able to autonomously provide the required level of heat.

All emergency services – rescuers, utility workers and law enforcement officers – are working at the scene.
