All non-critical infrastructure in the Ukrainian port of Odesa was without power after Russia used Iranian-made drones to hit two energy facilities, officials said on Saturday, adding it could take months to repair the damage. ADVERTISEMENTSince October, Moscow has been targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with large waves of missile and drone strikes. “According to preliminary forecasts, it will take much more time to restore energy facilities in the Odesa region than after previous attacks,” the administration said. Odesa, Ukraine’s largest port city, had a population of over 1 million before Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion. Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office said two power facilities in Odesa region were hit by Shahed-136 drones.
