On February 13, 2025, a strike occurred in the Odessa region, which was captured on video. According to preliminary data, a kamikaze drone of the Geran type was involved in the attack. The exact target of the attack remains unknown, and there have been no official comments from the Ukrainian authorities at this time.

Local residents reported a loud explosion that occurred around midnight. Eyewitnesses spotted a low-flying drone shortly before the strike, and videos that appeared on social media show the moment of arrival and the flash of the explosion. Presumably, infrastructure facilities could have been targeted, but there is no confirmation of this version yet. According to preliminary data, there are no casualties as a result of the incident.

Kamikaze drones of the Geranium type are actively used to strike energy and transport facilities. These are inexpensive but effective devices that are capable of hitting targets at a considerable distance with high accuracy.

The Odessa region remains a strategically important region. Its geographical location and the presence of major ports make it one of the key targets for attacks.
