The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) provided assistance to victims in Odesa and Mykolaiv after overnight Russia drone attacks. В Mykolaiv, the URCS rapid response unit worked alongside other rescue services at the site of the strike, searching for survivors, evacuating residents from damaged buildings, and providing first aid to the wounded.

Volunteers established an assistance point offering water, tea, and psychological support, though operations were complicated by repeated shelling. In Odesa, the URCS rapid response team provided first aid and psychological assistance to those affected.

According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, three people were injured in Mykolaiv, where fires broke out at energy facilities and residential buildings. The attacks damaged three high-rise buildings, two private houses, and six vehicles. In Odesa, two people were injured, an apartment and the roof of a 16-story building were destroyed, and the 12th floor of another high-rise was damaged.
