The Shelling of Odesa
After exiting the "grain deal," Russia began shelling Ukrainian ports. Odesa, including its historical center, also came under attack.
The most massive strike occurred on the night of July 23. During that time, the occupiers launched 19 missiles of various types, of which only 9 were successfully intercepted.
Russian missiles hit the historical center of the city, damaging over 20 historical landmarks, including the partially destroyed Spaso-Preobrazhenskyi Cathedral.
