On 29 March 2022, Russian forces carried out a missile strike (supposedly using Kalibr missile) on the Mykolaiv Regional State Administration's headquarters during the battle of Mykolaiv. It resulted in at least 37 deaths and 34 injuries.

The missile strike left half of the building destroyed, leaving a massive hole inside the building's structure and triggering numerous fires. The governor's office was destroyed.

As a result of the attack, 37 people were killed and 34 were injured.

Governor of Mykolaiv Oblast Vitaliy Kim overslept that night, preventing him from going to work and saving his life. Initially, the governor said that eight people were still trapped under the rubble and three soldiers remained missing.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed reports about the missile strike shortly later in a video to the Danish Folketing.
