Attack on Odesa region: there are hits

The head of the press center of the Southern Defense Forces, Natalia Humeniuk, said during a telethon that the Russian army used supersonic Onyx missiles fired from the Bastion coastal missile system from the territory of Crimea to attack the region.

"Unfortunately, the night was restless, quite disturbing. The enemy continues to terrorize the southern direction, in particular, Odesa region suffered a missile attack. The enemy used Onyx again. Two missiles hit the recreational area of Odesa region," she said.

According to Humeniuk, since the attack took place in an open area, there were no critical damages or injuries as a result of the Russian attack.
