In the early hours of Monday, Odesa was once again targeted by enemy shelling, resulting in injuries to five civilians. This was reported by the head of the City Military Administration, Serhiy Lysak, via his Telegram channel.
At 4:30 AM on Monday, Odesa fell victim to hostile attacks, which left five civilians injured. According to Serhiy Lysak, the head of the City Military Administration (MVA), a residential high-rise building in one of the city’s districts was struck, leading to significant destruction.
Lysak noted that the shelling caused extensive damage from the fifth to the third floors of the building. "There may be people trapped under the rubble," he stated, emphasizing that a rescue operation is currently underway. All emergency services and municipal workers are actively engaged in addressing the aftermath of the attack.
Additionally, in the same area, several private homes were hit, resulting in further destruction. "It is already known that five individuals have been taken to a medical facility for necessary medical assistance," Lysak reported, urging residents to remain cautious and adhere to safety protocols.
Operational headquarters are being established at the scene to coordinate the efforts of rescuers and medical personnel.

This incident is yet another testament to the tense situation in the region, where enemy shelling has become a grim reality for local residents.

Local inhabitants are striving to adapt to the constantly changing conditions, yet fear and uncertainty remain an inseparable part of their daily lives.
The authorities are urging citizens to stay safe and follow the guidance of emergency services. The situation in Odesa and other cities remains complex, and each new shelling underscores the necessity for international support and assistance to Ukraine in its fight for independence and security.
