Russia Launches 20 Drones & 5 Missiles On Ukraine’s Odesa, Damaging Port & Energy Facilities
Russia launched a devastating attack on Ukraine’s Odesa region, resulting in casualties and damaging infrastructure on July 10, 2024.
The attack involved the launch of 20 drones and five missiles targeting key locations, including port infrastructure and energy facility in the northwest of Ukraine.
According to regional governor Oleh Kiper, the missile attacks in southern Odesa killed two people: a truck driver and a security guard.
The attack also injured a sailor and damaged port facilities, trucks and a civilian ship.
The Odesa region is an essential hub for Ukraine’s Black Sea exports, which have continued despite Russia’s withdrawal from a UN-brokered agreement last year.
While Russia has denied intentionally targeting civilians or civilian infrastructure in Ukraine since its full-fledged invasion in February 2022, continued strikes on port facilities are a grim reality.
According to commercial sources, a cargo ship sustained minor shrapnel damage during the most recent assault.
In a separate incident, attack drones struck an energy facility in Ukraine’s northwestern Rivne region, causing a fire that was quickly extinguished.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during this incident; however, the area experienced temporary power outages.
Ukraine’s national grid operator, Ukrenergo, verified the outage but confirmed that scheduled power cuts were unaffected.
Ukraine’s air force reported strong defensive measures, shooting down 14 of the 20 drones deployed across eight regions during the strike.
Furthermore, they successfully intercepted three of four Russian missiles, highlighting continuous military efforts to protect crucial infrastructure and civilian lives.
The situation in Ukraine is still terrible, with broad international concern over increasing conflict and the humanitarian impact on civilians.
As attempts continue to assess and respond to the damage caused by these attacks, the global community remains cautious.
