Explosions in Odesa
Today, after 11 a.m., explosions were heard in Odesa. As a result, an air raid alert was declared in Odesa and the region.
Later, the network reported repeated explosions in Odesa.
The Ukrainian Air Force warned of missiles flying in the direction of Odesa, as well as the threat of ballistic missile attacks on the southern regions.
Chaotic shelling by the Russian Federation
Russian occupiers have recently been conducting targeted attacks on the Odesa region from tactical aircraft. Thus, in recent weeks, the Russians have fired several missiles from aircraft in the Black Sea region. Often, Russian missiles did not reach the target or were destroyed on approach.
The Ukrainian military emphasizes that the Russians continue to use targeted missile strikes to test and reconnoiter Ukraine's air defense.
