Russian missile attack on Mykolaiv kills one, wounds sixteen

A ballistic missile attack on the southern city of Mykolaiv in the early morning of Tuesday, October 15, killed one resident and injured 16 others, said Vitaly Kim, head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration (OVA).

The attack took place around 2:30 am, with Russian forces using S-300 missiles. Several districts were affected, causing significant damage to infrastructure, a restaurant complex, shopping areas, residential buildings and vehicles. Fires broke out at the impact sites while firefighting efforts were still underway.

Among the injured, three people required outpatient care. Later that evening, Russian forces launched Shahed-136/131 UAVs in the region, but air defense systems successfully intercepted and shot down three drones.

This ballistic attack followed the previous one on Monday morning, October 14, when three explosions shook the windows of the houses in the historic center of Odesa – just minutes after the Telegram channels announced an incoming Russian ballistic missile alert through the city.

Eight people were injured and one person died as a result of the attack, which is believed to have targeted port infrastructure, according to the first official statement from the Odesa Regional Military Authority. All the injured and dead were dock workers. There was also damage to port infrastructure, including a warehouse containing tons of grain supplies.
