On the night of April 5, the Russian military tried to attack the energy infrastructure in Odesa with drones.

This is reported by the Defense Forces of the South.

It is noted that the enemy attacked from the south with several waves of attack drones. Unmanned aerial vehicles of the «Shahed-131/136» type entered from the temporarily occupied Crimea both through the temporarily occupied left-bank Kherson region and from the Black Sea. Air defense forces shot down all 13 attack drones, which the Russians tried to attack Ukraine with.

The first wave of attack was aimed at Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk region. During more than two hours of combat work, 9 drones were shot down: 2 in Dnipropetrovsk region and 7 in Zaporizhzhia region.

During the next wave of attacks, the enemy rapidly attacked Odesa, targeting the energy infrastructure. During the half-hour combat operation of the air defense forces, all four drones were shot down.

It will be recalled that the Russian troops once again carried out artillery shelling of Ochakiv.
