Russian occupation forces attacked Odesa with three Iskander-M ballistic missiles.
This was stated by Air Force Speaker Illya Yevlash.
“The enemy has now chosen the city of Odesa as the key target. Previously, he hit and continues to hit Kharkiv. Now he attacked densely populated areas of Odesa with three Iskander-M ballistic missiles, as a result of which people were killed and injured. This is another manifestation of the bloodthirsty face of Russian terror “This attack is not intended to serve anything other than intimidation and destabilization of the situation,” he said.
According to Yevlash, ballistic missiles are very difficult to shoot down, and Odesa, like Kharkiv, is a short distance from the launch sites.
The speaker noted that only the Patriot complex is capable of resisting ballistics, and Ukraine needs more such systems and missiles for them in order to counter Russian terror.
