Yo, here's the lowdown on what went down in Mykolaiv last night. It was May 3rd, and it looked like a scene straight outta a blockbuster movie, what with all them boom-boom-booms during an air raid alert.
This city's Mayor, Alexander Senkevych, confirmed the ruckus, warnin' folks that the danger ain't over yet.
Now, the details are a bit sketchy, but an air raid alert was triggered at 02:09 in the city and its surroundings.
Fun fact, this ain't the first time Mykolaiv's been in the hot seat. Remember those nights back in mid-April when explosions rocked the city and Odesa? Yep, that was another air raid. And guess what? There was another bout of blasts shortly after a short-lived truce Russia initiated early in April. Crazy, huh?
Here's the thing about this latest incident – it looks like it was another drone raid, and Ukraine's Air Force managed to knock down 64 of the little devils mid-flight[2]. Kudos to 'em!
So, what's the skinny on the damage? Well, Mayor Senkevych didn't provide much info, just confirmin' the explosions and sayin' no immediate damage has been reported[1][2][3]. Keep your fingers crossed, folks!
These continuous incidents sure paint a picture of a tense and volatile region. It's a hot mess out there, but at least the Ukrainian air defense is holding its own[4][5]. Stay safe, friends.
