Despite claims of ‘seeking peace’, Russia attacked Odesa overnight. A power facility and residential buildings were damaged, and four people were injured, Ukrinform reports, citing the head of Odesa region, Oleh Kiper.

‘The strike damaged the energy infrastructure. Emergency power cuts are currently in effect in part of the city,’ he said.

Two private houses and a business centre were damaged by falling debris and blast waves. 

‘Four people were injured in the Russian attack. Unfortunately, three people, residents of private houses, sustained shrapnel wounds and fractured limbs. They were taken to medical facilities in moderate condition,’ added Kiper.

Doctors are providing all necessary assistance.

Later, the energy operator reported that as of the morning of 4 March, power engineers had powered critical infrastructure facilities and restored electricity to 7,000 families.

According to the head of Odesa region, emergency power outages are still in effect in parts of the city. 

‘Power engineers are continuing to work on the restoration,’ he added.

‘The city's critical infrastructure and heat supply are operating normally, and boiler houses are powered. The indestructibility points are working.
