«In the morning, Russian aggressors attacked Mykolaiv with drones. At a time when children need to go to school and adults need to go to work and run errands. This is deliberate terrorism against the population,» he wrote.

The head of the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration, Vitalii Kim, confirmed that the attack damaged transport infrastructure and caused a fire.

One man suffered minor injuries and was hospitalised. All services are working at the scene.

According to the mayor of Mykolaiv, an inspection of the residential sector is currently underway. As of now, no damage to residential buildings has been found.

Vitaliy Kim also criticised Telegram channels that published the consequences of the attack almost in real time, calling it assistance to the enemy and announcing possible retaliatory measures.

We remind you that Russian troops have changed their tactics of attacks on the Mykolaiv region and have begun to use strike drones more often during the day. Residents are asked to stay in safe places and use shelters during alerts.
