Russian drones hit several power sites near Odesa. The strikes damaged parts of the grid and sparked small fires that crews put out within hours. Local officials moved key buildings onto backup generators to keep water pumps and hospitals running.
Ukraine’s air teams stopped many drones, but some still reached energy targets across the region. Engineers checked damaged lines through the morning and worked to keep the system stable.
Odesa enters a colder period with a weaker grid. Each new strike makes the winter power supply harder to protect and raises pressure on repair crews already stretched thin.
