The Russian army attacked Odesa
The explosions were heard in Odesa shortly after the air alert was announced. At 11:04 a.m., the Air Force warned that a missile was launched toward Odesa, and soon, a notification appeared about the threat of ballistic weapons for the south.
The head of Odesa RMA, Ogeh Kiper, reported that there were casualties as a result of the Russian missile attack on Odesa.
The head of Odesa RMA added that relevant services are working at the impact site, and the data is being verified.
Currently, it is unknown what weapons the occupiers used and the consequences of the enemy attack.
What is known about the previous Russian attacks on Odesa
The Russian occupiers have recently been carrying out pinpoint strikes on the Odesa region from tactical aircraft. So, in recent weeks, the Russians have fired several missiles from aircraft in the Black Sea region. Often, enemy missiles did not reach the target or were destroyed in mid-flight.
The military emphasises that the enemy continues the tactics of pinpoint missile strikes to test and scout Ukraine's air defenses.
On March 6, Russia launched a missile attack on the port infrastructure of Odesa. During this time, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, were in the city.
Navy spokesman 3rd Rank Captain Dmytro Pletenchuk told the media that five people had died.
European Council President Charles Michel condemned the strike as "another sign of Russia's cowardly tactics", which he said were "below even the Kremlin".
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, called the attack reckless.
The reckless air attack on Odesa, when President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Mitsotakis were in the city to commemorate the victims of a drone strike on a residential building on March 2, once again proves Putin's disregard for any norms and his willingness to escalate.
