The Russian occupiers fired a ballistic missile in the direction of the port infrastructure of Great Odesa, and managed to shoot it down.
In the evening of July 18, Russia attacked Odesa with an Iskander-M ballistic missile from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea. This was reported in the press service of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine.
The enemy missile was shot down. Dmytro Pletenchuk, the spokesman of the Armed Forces Navy, called it a landmark event.
“The OTRK Iskander missile that attacked Odesa region yesterday was shot down. A landmark event. Several previous missiles hit our port infrastructure,” Pletenchuk wrote on Facebook.
At the beginning of July, the Rashists attacked one of the ports of Odesa with a ballistic missile. As a result of the attack, one person died, and seven more people were injured in various degrees of severity.
