On the evening of July 3, the Russian army launched a rocket strike on the territory of the Odesa region. The attack targeted a civilian infrastructure object, as confirmed by local authorities. This was reported by the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Kiper, in his Telegram channel, and RBC-Ukraine also cites these data.
Consequences of the attack and fire
As a result of the rocket impact, a large-scale fire broke out. The fire engulfed a warehouse building where food products were stored at the time. Due to the high temperature and intensity of the burning, the flames spread to adjacent warehouse premises, threatening the destruction of a significant volume of material assets.
Rescue operations and casualties
Rescue services promptly arrived at the scene. Thanks to their actions, the fires were extinguished, and the fire was prevented from spreading further. However, the consequences of the strike proved severe: two people were injured as a result of the attack. They are already receiving the necessary medical assistance.
All relevant services continue to work at the scene of the incident. Law enforcement agencies are documenting the consequences of the strike, recording the damage and the circumstances of the event, qualifying the actions of the Russian army as a war crime against the civilian population.
Situation in other regions
The attack on the Odesa region occurred against the backdrop of an escalation of hostilities in other parts of Ukraine. In particular, Russian troops launched a massive strike on Sumy, using drones and guided air bombs. As a result of this attack, destruction was recorded, and there were reports of deaths and injuries among civilians.
