Explosions rang out in Mykolaiv at 00:58, after which an air raid alert was declared in the city and region, according to Suspilne. The Telegram account of the Mykolaiv Oblast Military Administration reported during the Russian attack that, according to preliminary information, Russians had launched four S-300 surface-to-air missiles in their secondary ground attack role to hit the city. As of 2:07, the Administration said
one civilian was killed in the attack and 15 injured.
Later, both Mykolaiv Oblast Administration and the Operational Command South said Russia used the ship-launched Kalibr cruise missiles.
Unlike the highly imprecise S-300 missiles in their ground-attack role, the Kalibr is a high-precision weapon:
"Given that this is a high-precision weapon that works on targeting coordinates, it is an obvious fact of terrorizing civilians," the Operational Command South said in a statement.
The Oblast Administration says the missiles hit a historic building, and damaged several more houses - a multi-storey apartment building and two detached homes.
