At night, Russian occupants attacked Odesa region with dozens of missiles and attack drones Ukraine news 19 Jul 2023 at 08:00

On the night of July 19th, Russian terrorists launched a massive attack on the territory of the Odessa region, targeting the port and critical infrastructure. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but several buildings were damaged, and three civilians were injured as a result of the strikes. This information was reported by the Odessa Regional Military Administration.

During the attack, Russian occupiers used missiles such as "Oniks," "X-59," and "X-22." Additionally, they launched Iranian-made combat drones of the "Shahed-136" type simultaneously with the missiles. It is reported that the air defense forces successfully intercepted an "X-59" missile just before it reached the shore. The missile landed in one of the city's neighborhoods, creating a massive crater. The explosive blast damaged several buildings, and three civilians were injured.

The "X-22" and "Oniks" missiles were directed towards the port and critical infrastructure, causing damage to the oil and grain terminals, loading equipment, and storage tanks. The explosions resulted in fires that are being extinguished by the relevant authorities.

It was also reported that an industrial facility in the Odessa region was affected. Warehouse buildings containing fireworks and tobacco products were damaged due to the strikes, leading to a fire that engulfed an area of over 3,000 square meters.

During the attack, eight "Shahed-136" drones were shot down in the skies above Odessa. In the Koblevska community, tourism bases and hotels caught fire and were damaged due to falling debris. Two civilians sustained injuries.

As missile and drone interceptions took place, the shockwaves damaged several high-rise buildings in residential complexes in the Odessa area. At least six city residents sought medical assistance, including a 9-year-old boy who was injured by glass and other objects.

Recall that the night before, the enemy had attacked Odessa and Mykolaiv using "Shahed" and "Kalibr" missiles.
