Ten strikes hit the city of Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine overnight causing powerful explosions, mayor Oleksandr Syenkevych said on his Telegram channel.
Two universities were hit during the strikes, the head of the region’s military administration said.
Some context: The fighting around Mykolaiv has ramped up in recent days with villages along the border with the Kherson region becoming the front lines as Ukrainian forces try to penetrate Russian defenses in occupied areas of southern Ukraine. One person was reported injured in Mykolaiv on Thursday after the city came under a “massive missile attack,” according to the region’s military chief.
