Ten attacks hit the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv between Thursday night and Friday morning, causing massive explosions, Mayor Oleksandr Syenkevych said on his Telegram channel.
Two universities were hit during the attacks, the head of the region’s military administration said.
Fighting around Mykolaiv has increased in recent days. Villages along the border with the Kherson region have become the front line as Ukrainian forces try to penetrate Russian defenses in occupied areas of southern Ukraine.
Attacks leave two injured
Rescue teams are working at the sites of the missile attacks in Mykolaiv, according to the mayor.
The attacks took place around 7:50 am local time, when there were “a lot of people on the streets”, Oleksandr Syenkevych said, adding that “there are two wounded so far”.
Photos on the Ukraine State Emergency Service Facebook page show damaged buildings and firefighters putting out fires amid the rubble.
In a separate Telegram post, Vitalii Kim, head of military administration for the Mykolaiv region, named the two affected universities Mykolaiv Pedagogical Institute and Mykolaiv Shipbuilding Institute.
According to Syenkevych, Mykolaiv was hit by ten attacks overnight, causing “powerful explosions”.
