In a significant escalation of hostilities, several districts of Odesa, including Kyivskyi, Prymorskyi, Khadzhybeiskyi, and parts of Peresypskyi, lost water supply due to emergency power outages triggered by a large-scale attack by Russian forces on the night of February 14-15. The attack involved 83 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), of which 55 were reportedly intercepted, but the damage inflicted on civilian and transport infrastructure was substantial, leading to immediate power supply disruptions affecting essential services such as water supply.

Odesa's City Council announced that efforts to restore water services would commence on the same day, raising hopes for residents affected by the outages. Meanwhile, the Odesa Oblast Military Administration reported significant damage to various facilities, including an abandoned building, a railway administrative site, and a tank, with reports of a fuel spill and subsequent fire from a repeated strike targeting the railway infrastructure. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties or injuries linked to these strikes, although the event has increased anxiety among the local population.

These developments come amid intensified military actions in Ukraine, highlighting the ongoing conflict's direct impact on civilian life and essential services. The water supply outages underscore the vulnerabilities in infrastructure due to targeted attacks, reflective of broader patterns in the conflict where civilian amenities become collateral damage. The situation remains dynamic as military and emergency services work to address the fallout of these attacks and mitigate the disruption to daily life.
