Russia strikes Mykolaiv with S-300 missiles, hitting university, local business 

The mayor of the city, Oleksandr Senkevych, and the head of Mykolaiv regional military administration Vitaly Kim reported this.

Russian forces shelled another university in Mykolaiv - P. Mohyla University.

"Just a few days ago, I published a video that showed that there is no military base there. That ordinary university specialists work there: they accept applicants' documents, sign circular letters, and issue diplomas. And tonight, two Russian missiles flew there. These are real terrorists who hiding behind their propaganda continue to cynically destroy our educational institutions," wrote Senkevych.

At the time of the attack, there was only a security guard at the university. He was not hurt. However, houses opposite the facility were damaged by debris and the shock wave.

"We will give film and OSB-plates free of charge to everyone who needs them," says the mayor.

Currently, utility workers are clearing the area near the university in order to clear the passage for traffic.

Vitaly Kim also confirmed the strikes on Mykolaiv with S-300 missiles.

"Around 2:00, on August 17, the Russian occupiers once again fired at Mykolaiv with S-300 type missiles. It is known that civilian objects were hit, in particular the P. Mohyla University and one of the city's enterprises. Private houses were also damaged. Previously, there were no victims. Detailed information is being clarified," he noted.
