Enemy hits Mykolaiv with two Iskander-M missiles from Crimea – defense forces

The Russian army hit Mykolaiv with two missiles, presumably Iskander-M, from temporarily occupied Crimea, using tactics identical to the previous attack on Odesa.

According to Ukrinform, Ukraine’s Southern Defense Forces reported this on Telegram.

“The enemy continues to terrorize the south. In the afternoon, they insidiously attacked an infrastructure facility in Mykolaiv with ballistic missiles, firing two missiles, likely Iskander-M, from temporarily occupied Crimea. The tactics are identical to the previous attack on Odesa: after hitting with one missile, they repeated the attack on the same site a few minutes later,” the post says.

The missile attack damaged residential buildings and civilian cars in the area.

At least five local residents have been reported wounded.

Information is being updated.
