Russia strikes UKRNAFTA gas station in Odesa region, causes serious damage - company CEO
A drone strike on a UKRNAFTA gas station in Odesa region caused serious damage, though no one was hurt, Ukrnafta board chairman Bohdan Kukura said.
A Ukrainian energy company reported that a drone strike on a UKRNAFTA gas station in the Odesa region has caused significant damage, although no casualties were reported. The attack left the main building and canopy of the gas station severely destroyed, with equipment also experiencing considerable damage. Despite the extent of the destruction, UKRNAFTA emphasized that operations at the gas station network continue unhindered, with efforts underway to restore the affected facilities.
The company's CEO, Bohdan Kukura, expressed strong condemnation against the Russian attacks on civilian facilities, labeling them as acts of terror against the population and reinforcing that they have no military purpose. The incident comes amidst a wider context of power shortages in Odesa, with electric transport in the city ceasing operations due to a power outage caused by a Russian assault.
The Ukrainian power system operator, NPC Ukrenergo, reported that the power situation in the Odesa region is among the most challenging nationwide.
