On the night of today, Russian armed forces launched missile strikes on a number of strategically important objects in the Odessa region. The main target of the attack in the Zatoka area was a railway bridge, which is considered a key transport artery for supplying Ukrainian forces on the southern section of the front. The destruction of the bridge could complicate the transfer of ammunition and military equipment, which will affect the logistical capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the region.

In Odessa itself, a series of explosions were heard in the port area, where the likely targets were ships believed to be used to transport weapons and other military aid. The Odessa port is a major supply hub, and the attack could make it difficult for the Ukrainian military to access needed resources.

The strikes were part of a sustained campaign to destroy infrastructure supporting Ukraine's defense in the south and highlight Russia's desire to undermine the Ukrainian Armed Forces' capabilities in border and frontline areas.
