"Odessa strike. In the South [district], the strike against the port infrastructure, with a large detonation and flames," Lebedev said.
The roads towards the port and the embankment were cordoned off, and only ambulances were allowed through, Lebedev added.
Strikes on the Ukrainian infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces began on October 10, 2022 - two days after the terrorist attack on the Crimean Bridge, which, according to the Russian authorities, is backed by Ukrainian special services. Strikes are being carried out on energy, defense industry, military administration and communications facilities throughout the country.
Since then, an air alert has been announced in the Ukrainian regions every day. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russian troops do not strike residential buildings and social infrastructure.
