The Russian military attacked the Odessa bridge and the Shkolny airfield.

Accumulations of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were also probably hit, as strong fires broke out after the attacks. The strikes were carried out in order to undermine the logistical capabilities of the Ukrainian army for the transfer of troops.

On the evening of May 7, an air alert was announced in a number of Ukrainian cities, including Odessa. Then explosions were heard in Odessa.

Russian Tu-22M3s launched missile strikes on targets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Explosions were recorded in Nikolaev and Odessa, where a point with military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including that supplied by the West, was destroyed.

The attacking aircraft, while over the Black Sea, used various types of cruise missiles to hit targets. The attack shows that the Russian military continues to take active steps against the Ukrainian armed forces, and also calls into question the possibility of a successful transfer of troops and military equipment within the Ukrainian army.
