A deadly Russian strike on Mykolaev, which is a “strategic passage” for Odessa, has meant a war alarm.
The Russians bombed a Ukrainian base, killing at least 80 people, according to local officials.
At the same time, there are fears that this number will increase. Military sources say about 200 young soldiers were in the camp at the time of the attack.
Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Senkevich said the city, which had a population of half a million before the war, had been bombed by the Russian-controlled neighborhood of Kherson.
The bloodshed in Mykolaev puts the city of Odessa on alert, which is preparing for the nightmarish scenario of the amphibious siege.
