Russian troops launched a targeted missile strike on the port of Yuzhny near Odessa
On Friday, April 19, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile attack on the port infrastructure of the city of Yuzhny, east of Odessa. According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, two terminals were damaged as a result of the attack.
Also in local Telegram-channels information appeared that oils were stored in the tanks that came under attack. As a result, employees of the State Service of Ukraine have been fighting the fire in the port for the third day.
The underground reported that the attack was on a port plant
The coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, said that the target of the attack by Russian troops was the port plant, located close to the Southern port.
According to him, on April 19, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the hangar where the water drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were stored. On this day, Lebedev’s agent said that black smoke could be seen from the Yuzhny side and in the direction of the city.
In the Odessa region, targeted attacks on port infrastructure were announced
On Sunday, April 21, the head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration (OVA) Oleg Kiper said that Russian troops launched a targeted missile strike on the port infrastructure of the region.
After lunch, they hit the Odessa region with ballistics. They aimed again at the transport and logistics facility of the port infrastructure
On the same day at 13:14 an air raid alert was announced in the Odessa region. Explosions were heard in the city.
The Russian Armed Forces, in response to attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, regularly carry out targeted strikes on the locations of personnel, Ukrainian equipment, as well as energy, defense industry, military command and communications facilities.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has repeatedly emphasized that the Russian military does not attack social facilities, residential areas or civilians. “This is what fundamentally distinguishes our military from the military of the Kyiv regime,” he pointed out.
The press secretary of the Russian President said that strikes are carried out on those objects that are directly or indirectly related to the military potential of Ukraine. He also called this the consequences of the reluctance of the Ukrainian authorities “to negotiate.”
