The mayor of Mykolaiv shared updates on the restoration efforts at the site where a drone struck a residential building.

The Mayor of Mykolaiv, Oleksandr Senkevych, spoke about the restoration efforts following a drone strike on a residential building that occurred on the night of Saturday, December 28.

He shared this information in a comment to a correspondent from “Novosti-N”.

According to the mayor, the impact of the "Shahed" drone damaged the roof of the residential building and shattered windows in neighboring houses. Currently, intensive emergency restoration work is underway at the site, involving around a hundred municipal workers. Wood-based panels have been brought to cover the window openings where the glass has been broken. Additionally, municipal workers are clearing debris from the roof and other waste scattered around as a result of the explosion.

- At around one o'clock this morning, Mykolaiv was attacked by a "Shahed" type drone. One of them hit a house in the Ingul district and destroyed the roof. Windows in neighboring buildings were also damaged. Currently, municipal enterprises “ELU Avtodoroh” and others are working to clear the aftermath of the strike. We will remove the debris from the roof and cover it with a tarpaulin until the roof is repaired. Assistance is being provided to all residents. We are cutting plywood to cover the windows. We are gathering information to include it in the “єVідновлення” program so that people can later receive financial compensation for the restoration of their apartments, - said Oleksandr Senkevych.

He also noted that the residents of the building did not seek medical attention – none of the residents were injured.

- Fortunately, there are no casualties. No one has gone to the hospital. All residents who could return have returned to their apartments, - the mayor stated.

The mayor emphasized that the primary task today is to cover the damaged roof of the multi-story building with a tarpaulin to protect it from precipitation.

- We have more than a hundred people involved. This number will be reduced soon. They will work today until everything is cleared and order is restored in the area. Then we will focus on the roof of the house, as this is currently the biggest issue. We need to cover the roof to protect the building from rain, - Oleksandr Senkevych added.
