"There are no casualties. The cause of the fire will be investigated by law enforcement," SES adds.

Power supply restored

We remind you that RBK-Ukraine reported on how recently a part of Odesa and the Odesa region lost power due to a large-scale accident at a substation. Prior to that, there was an accident on a high-voltage line in the city, which also led to electricity supply restrictions.
