The first explosions in Odesa were reported in the public domain around 11 am. About 20 minutes later, there were reports of repeated explosions.

The invaders, according to monitoring channels, launched at least two ballistic missiles at the regional center. As noted, the launches were carried out from the temporarily occupied Crimea.

"Preliminarily, there is damage and fire to civilian infrastructure (HOUSE, F*CK, AGAIN)," the message said.

A missile threat was also recorded for the Izmail district of Odesa region.

As a reminder, on the night of March 2, 2024, as a result of another attack by the Russian Federation using kamikaze drones on Odesa, 18 apartments were completely destroyed and 36 apartments were damaged in a high-rise building at 134 Dobrovolskoho Avenue. The attack killed 12 people, including five children. 20 people were injured. The search and rescue operation was completed on March 3. Five people were rescued.

On March 6, when the city was saying goodbye to a mother and a baby killed by the occupiers, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Prime Minister of Greece paid tribute to the victims of the Russian Shahed missile attack on a residential building in Odesa. At that moment, the invaders attacked the city again.

After Russia's strike on Odesa, the Greek prime minister voiced a "message" to the Kremlin. According to him, Moscow will not be able to intimidate Ukraine's partners with such terror: they will continue to support the Ukrainian people.
