In Mykolaiv, following the Russian attack on 20 October, council workers are clearing debris and boarding up shattered windows in residential buildings. As a result of the shelling, five high-rise blocks have been damaged, three cars have been destroyed and a further five have been damaged.

An elderly woman was injured as a result of the night-time and morning attacks. Paramedics examined her at the scene and prescribed outpatient treatment. There were no fatalities.
