Explosions in Odesa
There was an explosion in Odesa recently. There were reports of a ballistic weapon threat. The Southern Defense Forces specified that the threat came from the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Meanwhile, the Air Force said that Russian occupiers would intensify shelling of Ukraine. Some missiles are still enough for the attacks, while others are used shortly after being produced.
Commenting on the recent destruction of a Russian Tu-22, the head of Defense Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said that the Russian forces still had such aircraft, but successful actions by the Odesa Defense Forces would make it slightly easier. Kh-22 missiles launched by the Tu-22M3 caused the most damage to the city.
