Fire Erupts at an Industrial Facility in Nikolaev, Ukraine

Moscow, July 18 – Vitaly Kim, head of the Nikolaev regional military administration, said on his Telegram channel that the fire broke out at an industrial facility in Nikolaev, Ukraine, after explosions.

The Ukrainian newspaper “Zerkalo Nedeli” reported explosions in the Odessa and Nikolaev regions, in connection with the warning of an air strike last night.

As Kim wrote, the “Nikolaev attack” took place on Tuesday night, at about 01.50 (coinciding with Moscow time). “There was an injury in an industrial facility. As a result, a fire broke out and it was immediately put out. There were no injuries,” he said.

The attacks on the Ukrainian infrastructure of the Russian armed forces began on October 10 – two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge, behind which, according to the Russian authorities, the Ukrainian special services are behind. The strikes were launched on energy facilities, defense industry, military leadership and communications across the country. Since then, air raid alerts have been announced in Ukrainian regions every day, and sometimes throughout the country.
