Strike launched by Russia on Sunday at hotels in Mykolaiv (Nikolaev), known for housing foreign fighters hired by Ukraine, left 14 mercenaries dead and another eight injured, a source on the ground told Sputnik.
"The eight injured were hospitalized … They are being accommodated separately from others. Two are in a serious condition and six have been stabilized. Resistance saw at least 14 dead people being transported to the morgue," Sergei Lebedev, the coordinator of resistance forces, said.
The Riviera and Helen hotels, where English-speaking foreigners live, are being guarded by the Ukrainian armed forces, Lebedev added. Resistance forces have also been reporting American and Canadian citizens arriving in the Black Sea coast city.
The city is most known for the shipbuilding industry. Lebedev said foreign instructors had been training Ukrainian marines at a local shipyard to conduct naval sabotage operations. About a hundred Ukrainian paramilitary fighters from the Azov battalion (banned in Russia for terrorism) have recently arrived at the shipyard, which is also used to assemble underwater drones.
