The Russian Defense Ministry today reported nightly attacks with high-precision missiles against unspecified targets in the Ukrainian rear where its reserves were concentrated in its part of the war, after Ukraine reported attacks on civilian infrastructure in Odessa.
“Tonight the Russian Armed Forces carried out attacks with high-precision weapons and long-range naval and air emplacement against concentration centers of the Ukrainian Army reserves and foreign mercenaries, as well as weapons, ammunition and war equipment warehouses” , said the military entity.
Defense added that “all the designated objectives were hit. The objective of the attacks was achieved,” without mentioning specific data.
The Ukrainian authorities denounced today that, during the night, four Russian missiles destroyed or caused damage to 21 buildings in the city of Odesa, located on the shores of the Black Sea, and killed at least three people.
The Ukrainian deputy Oleksi Goncharenko told EFE that no military objective was affected during this attack.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the defenses intercepted three of the four missiles launched last night by Russia against Odessa. A fourth missile could not be shot down and hit its target.
Meanwhile, six X-22 type cruise missiles launched from Russia’s Rostov-on-Don region reached the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.
This attack caused three deaths and six injuries, according to Governor Pavlo Kirilenko.
