Civilian infrastructure hit as Russia launches drone attack on Ukraine’s Odesa
According to Al Jazeera, the head of the Odessa district military administration, Yuri Kruk, said in a telegram, “At night, the enemy attacked the Odessa region with UAVs of the Shahid-136 type.”
“According to preliminary information, there are no casualties. Measures are being taken to control the fire, units of the State Emergency Service and other structures are working at the scene,” said the head of the military administration.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated recently in the form of a Russian missile attack on a residential neighborhood in the eastern Ukrainian city of Slavyansk on Friday last week, which claimed at least 11 lives.
Citing the governor of Donetsk region, Pavlo Kirilenko, Al Jazeera reported that seven Russian S-300 missiles were fired at Sloviansk, west of the city of Bakhmut, where the heaviest fighting took place on the Ukrainian front line.
The attack came after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill on Friday that would make it easier to enlist civilians in the military and prevent them from fleeing the country if they are called up, Al Jazeera reported.
A draftee would be prohibited from traveling internationally under the law, which Putin signed on Friday, and would be required to report to an enlisted office after receiving an electronic call-up paper.
Last year, tens of thousands of men left Russia after Putin announced mobilization to support troops in Ukraine.
According to Al Jazeera, Moscow claimed that when it launched its assault on Sloviansk, it was attempting to seize more of the devastated Bakhmut districts, whose population has fled in large numbers since Russia’s invasion.
The Russia-Ukraine war that started on 24 February has claimed many lives and the war between the two countries is still going on.
