Natural Disaster in Odesa: Impact and Remembrance of Victims
On September 30, 2025, Odesa faced a significant downpour that caused critical issues for the city. The storm brought a two-month rainfall within a single day, resulting in widespread flooding of roads and homes, and power outages in several neighborhoods.
Despite the swift response from rescue services and municipal authorities to mitigate the disaster's effects, tragically, this led to loss of life.
October 2, 2025, has been declared a Day of Mourning in Odesa to honor the deceased.
The national flag of Ukraine and the city flag will be flown at half-mast on public buildings.
All businesses and organizations in the city, regardless of ownership, have been advised to limit entertainment activities and music use.
