Kiper reported that the assault resulted in two individuals killed and fourteen people injured. State Emergency Service rescuers evacuated 36 residents, including two children, from the affected areas.
The consequences of the Russian attack were widespread, affecting both residential infrastructure and maritime assets. Significant damage was reported across several residential buildings, with apartments and facades destroyed and windows shattered. Authorities confirmed that all relevant services are currently working to manage the aftermath of the overnight incident.
