On November 14, a massive enemy shelling took place in Odesa, injuring at least 8 people. There is a child among the wounded. All the victims are receiving the necessary medical care in the city's hospitals.
The attack destroyed one of the apartment buildings in the city center and set several apartments on fire. The fire also engulfed about 30 cars and partially damaged a two-story building and the territory of a public institution.
In addition, the shelling damaged a pipeline supplying heat to a large part of the city. As a result, a boiler house that provided heating for 220 apartment buildings and several schools and kindergartens was temporarily shut down. The boiler house also served a maternity hospital with 28 women and 22 newborns at the time of the attack. Fortunately, thanks to the backup systems in place, the facility was able to provide the required level of heat independently.
All emergency services - rescuers, utilities and law enforcement - are working at the scene.
