A russian nighttime missile strike on the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv has left one elderly man dead and at least five others injured, according to local authorities.
The victim, a 77-year-old man, died as a result of injuries sustained during the attack. Emergency services report that the condition of the five wounded individuals remains unchanged as of this morning.
The strike hit a residential high-rise building, causing significant destruction. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SES) continues a search and rescue operation at the site, where rescuers believe at least one more person may be trapped under the rubble.
“Rescue operations are ongoing. The situation is complicated by the scale of destruction, but we are doing everything possible to locate survivors,” said a representative of the SES.
Mykolaiv, a key city near the Black Sea, has frequently been targeted in recent months due to its strategic importance. The latest attack underscores the continued threat to civilian areas despite ongoing international condemnation of russian aggression.
Authorities urge residents to follow safety protocols and remain in shelters during air raid alerts.
Further updates will follow as the situation develops.

In the dead of night, the terrifying roar of enemy drones shattered the silence and jolted a young woman from her sleep. That moment marked the beginning of a harrowing fight for survival.
Following a russian drone strike that caused the collapse of a residential building, rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU) managed to pull a 20-year-old woman from the rubble. With extreme care, they placed her on a stretcher and lowered her to safety using an aerial ladder.
She is currently in critical condition, and doctors are fighting desperately to save her life.
