On the night of today, powerful explosions thundered in the Ukrainian Odessa, which were reported by local publics and Ukrainian media. Information about the causes of the explosions and their consequences is still coming with a delay, but it is already known that the attack is systemic. Along with Odessa, explosions were heard in Kyiv, where residents also report the activation of an air raid alarm.
"In terms of the destruction of military infrastructure, the explosions in Odessa and Kyiv may indicate a targeted attack on strategically important facilities. Odessa, as a major port city, is important for the supply of weapons and ammunition, as well as for the logistical support of Ukrainian troops. The systemic nature of the attack may indicate an attempt to disrupt the operation of transport hubs, warehouses and other facilities that support the enemy's operations.", says the Avia.pro analyst.
According to preliminary data, the explosions may be related to another attack by Russian drones and missiles on Ukrainian infrastructure and military facilities. Ukraine's air defense has not proven effective enough.
In Odessa, according to eyewitnesses, explosions were heard in the port area, where important infrastructure facilities are located. City residents write on social networks that they saw flashes of light and heard powerful rumbles, accompanied by detonation.
