2 schools in ruines on first schoolday in Odesa.

As a result of a massive attack on Odessa, 13 residential buildings in the Kievsky district were damaged.

In addition, damage was recorded in two lyceums and office buildings in the central part of the city, the mayor’s office reported.

More than 600 windows were shattered in residential buildings. Utility crews are already cleaning up the aftermath of the attack, covering the damaged windows with tiles and film.

For one Tairov resident, this was the second attack. This time, Lyubov’s apartment was not damaged, but the family lost their car.

“We were sleeping: first we heard a roar, then we saw fire outside the window. It was impossible to get to shelter because of the constant explosions. We were standing behind the elevator shaft. I have three children, a husband, and a dog. The children were very scared,” the woman said.

The building housing offices in the Primorsky district also sustained serious damage. A huge hole gapes in the façade, and nearly all the windows are shattered. The roof was damaged, and the blast wave overturned furniture and other belongings inside.

Miraculously, only a canary named Gosha survived.

There’s not a single window left standing in School No. 90. All classrooms are damaged. For now, all students have been transferred to distance learning. It’s unknown when they’ll be able to return to their desks, said acting principal Elena Bishko.

“I don’t know when we’ll be able to resume school. Around 300 students were supposed to be in class today. We tried to hold a celebration yesterday, but we weren’t allowed to do that properly because of the air raid sirens,” Bishko said.

Some teachers are already conducting online lessons directly from damaged school classrooms.

Lyceum No. 101 has been damaged by a landfall for the second time. New windows were recently installed, but now they’ll have to be replaced again, said history teacher Elena Petrovna.

“Now the entire teaching staff, parents, and children have come to help clean everything up quickly. Everyone’s been looking forward to today, to getting back to their desks. We were preparing for the holiday today; we have over 700 children in our school,” the teacher added.

DEATH TO THE RUSSIAN OCCUPIERS!
