Recent shellings of the Odesa region
Over the past week, occupiers have intensified nighttime attacks on the Odesa region. On the night of September 6, Russian forces targeted the Odesa region with Shahed drones, striking the Izmail district. The attack resulted in the tragic death of an agricultural enterprise worker who sustained severe injuries and died in the hospital.
During the night of September 4, Russian occupiers once again attempted to launch attacks on Ukraine using Shahed kamikaze drones. Their target was the port infrastructure in the Odesa region along the Danube River.
Following the attack, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reported that Russian drones fell on Romanian territory. However, official Bucharest sources did not confirm this information.
