Russian attack on Odesa: Langeron beach and architectural lyceum damaged.

According to ТСН: As a result of the Russian attack on Odesa on January 13, objects on Langeron beach were damaged, as well as the Odesa Professional Lyceum of Construction and Architecture.

This became known from the comment of the director of the educational institution, Ihor Chernienko, during a broadcast on the TV channel 'Novyny.Live'. The video published on social media shows the destroyed structures on Langeron beach, which is a popular recreational spot in Odesa.

The attack also hit the educational institution. As Chernienko noted, the security personnel who were in the building during the strike managed to descend to the shelter, so there were no casualties.

'Only the security was there, who heard and went down to the shelter we have. And from the shelter, they called me, saying that everything is crumbling, everything is flying, and so on. No one was hurt, thank God.'

— said the director of the lyceum.

State of the lyceum after the attack

The lyceum building sustained significant damage. Chernienko reported that the windows on the facade and in the courtyard were mostly destroyed — only six out of two hundred windows remained intact. Ceilings in all classrooms were damaged. The administrative section suffered the most damage, where a wall was breached. There were also fires, which are currently being extinguished by the fire service.

Due to the firefighting, the building is flooded on all floors, including the basement where the shelter is located. The heating had to be turned off due to damaged pipes.

'We turned off the heating because the heating was damaged, the heating pipes, most of the light, and water. Now we will start restoring something, launching part of the building. All staff are invited to assist with the cleanup. Students — we will transfer to distance learning. And we will move this day to some other subblock.'

— noted the director of the lyceum.

Impact of the attack on the city

Odesa was attacked by suicide drones on January 13, resulting in significant destruction in the city center. Not only residential buildings and apartment blocks were damaged, but also educational and medical institutions, including a school, kindergarten, and hospital. Fires broke out in a fitness center, lyceum, and a new building. Currently, five individuals have been hospitalized, and another 14 have sought psychological assistance. Help points have been organized at the impact sites for local residents.

As a result of the attack, two energy facilities of the DTEK company have been seriously damaged. About 47,000 families are without electricity, and restoring power supply will require significant time due to extensive destruction.

This attack serves as a further reminder of the duration and severity of military actions in Ukraine. However, local authorities and services are working on recovery, striving to ensure safety and necessary assistance for those affected. The community is also actively supporting each other during these challenging times.

In recent months, attacks on urban infrastructure have become a common occurrence, raising concerns about the future. Authorities and experts continue to outline plans for recovery, but the consequences may be felt for a long time.
