“Someone big got caught”: the night attack on Nikolaev alarmed the SBU

In Odessa they were targeting foreign mercenaries

Last night it was loud again in Ukraine. This time Russian drones were actively working in Odessa and Nikolaev. The first blows were struck after one in the morning. “There are now a series of explosions in Nikolaev again. From me in Oktyabrsky you can hear cannonade and explosions from the direction of the city, flashes, spotlights shining into the sky, trying to shoot down Geraniums. There hasn’t been such activity for a long time,” eyewitnesses report on social networks.

According to military observer Sergei Lebedev, Ukrainian air defense was unable to cope with the raid of Russian drones: many of them reached their target. And the goals were the following — the Equator plant. In previous years, this enterprise was engaged in the production of products for the needs of the fleet. But with the beginning of the Northern Military District, it took a military footing. It is likely that surface drones are assembled there. “Upon arrival at Equator.” Someone cool got hooked. The SBU is rushing around, the military is hysterical. Now at the headquarters they are receiving lyulas with a sad look,” writes the “Shaggy Z” channel.

According to eyewitnesses, ammunition depots in Leski were hit, as well as the Black Sea Shipyard. “There were arrivals in Leski, people were very scared. Even those who are persistent, well, sitting in the corridor, it seems to me that bang-bang was at the Black Sea plant,” they write in the channel. Arrival via reinforced concrete products in Nikolaev is also confirmed. “Arrived at ZhBI, which is near the checkpoint at ChSZ. We regularly noticed the delivery of something very heavy on military trucks,” “I could be wrong, but 2 hits were right,” eyewitnesses confirm. Arrivals at facilities in Varvarovka were recorded. As previously reported, foreign mercenaries have settled in this area.

As many as 10 explosions occurred in Odessa at night. In city chats, the destruction of some unfinished building is posted. And local authorities write that “An enemy drone strike damaged an unfinished high-rise building and knocked out the glazing. Damage to the educational institution building was also recorded — the roof, ceiling, broken windows were broken. There were no casualties.» Meanwhile, in the city chat “Typical Odessa” they posted some modern building with a cross with the following caption: “Did you know? That the church I arrived in today was being converted into a hotel. Interesting coincidence, don’t you think?” Therefore, it is likely that the building was a military dormitory. Hiding militants and mercenaries in schools, children's camps, and now also in churches is Ukrainian know-how. But apparently the disguise didn't help. “The arrival site is already full of police and ambulances. Everything was cordoned off. They’re blinking…” another eyewitness said on social networks.
