Russian media are spreading information that the Russian military launched a missile attack on the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Odesa on the night of May 1. However, this is another fake by Russian propagandists, states the Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security (SPRAVDI).
According to the Center, Russian troops launched three Iskander-M missiles at residential areas of the city.
As a result of the attack, three people were killed and residential and administrative buildings, as well as a medical and educational institution, were damaged.
“This strike on civilians in Odesa is another war crime of the Russian army,” SPRAVDI noted.
