Night attacks on the Odesa region

In recent weeks, Russian forces have intensified their nighttime attacks on the Odesa region, attempting to destroy port infrastructure.

For instance, on the night of Monday, September 4th, Russian occupiers once again tried to strike the Odesa region using Shahed kamikaze drones.

Later, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement claiming that during the Russian attack, drones fell and exploded on Romanian territory. However, Bucharest refutes this information.

It was also previously reported that Russian forces used Shahed drones to attack the port infrastructure of the Danube River in Odesa overnight on September 3rd. It is reported that the occupiers launched 25 drones.
