«Mykolaiv was attacked with two missiles at around 2 p.m. According to preliminary data, they were ballistic missiles. They hit the territory of one of the enterprises. Currently, there is information about 8 injured, all of them are civilians. There are minor damages to residential buildings, mainly broken windows. The injured are in a stable condition. Currently, there are no people in critical condition,» said Oleksandr Sienkevych.

Currently, communal services are conducting an inspection to thoroughly assess the situation and assist the affected.

«After the Russians attack, they conduct reconnaissance and attack again, it is difficult to provide information to the services without endangering them. Any places where missiles land, we first save people, and then property. Therefore, all services respond promptly, everyone knows what to do,» added the mayor.

The mayor believes that the increase in attacks on enterprises indicates that there are still people in the city who lead the Russians to these objects.

«It is difficult to say that they have increased the number of strikes. They occur precisely once or twice a week. In any case, more often than in the past six months. Judging by everything, there are people who lead them to industrial objects that they cannot reach and that are not visible from the street,» said Oleksandr Sienkevych.

«I would like to note that the damage is not extensive. Only individual apartments. Representatives of the district administration spoke with people today. They reminded them of the algorithm for inspecting damaged property,» wrote Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych.

It is known that, presumably, ballistic weapons were used for the attack, resulting in 6 people initially injured.

Recall that the previous shelling of Mykolaiv took place in the afternoon on March 21, around 2:25 p. m. Russian forces launched a missile strike on an object of industrial infrastructure. As a result of the strike, one woman was killed and 10 people were injured.
