by

Rockets hit Odessa Early this morning, the city council said in a post on the Internet.

One of the city’s “critical infrastructure facilities” was hit, regional administration spokesman Sergei Bratsuk told Ukrainian public radio and television.

“We hope there will be no casualties,” Bratsuk said.

A French news agency reporter said the blasts struck around 6am and that at least three pillars of smoke and flames appeared to be rising from an industrial area.

Working in a hotel in downtown said he heard a plane, but a military man near the spot of one of them blows claimed that it was a rocket or a rocket.

THE Anton Gerastshenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Minister, wrote in his Telegram account: “Odessa was attacked from the air. Fires broke out in some areas. Part of the missiles fired by the air defense. It is recommended that you close the windows. “

Destroyed city

The horror of war has become so common in Boutsa that the last inhabitants pass by the corpses without even looking at them.

In recent days, Russian forces have withdrawn from several locations near the capital after failing to encircle it. They are leaving the Kiev and Chernihiv regions of northern Ukraine with the aim of regrouping in the east.

Ukraine announced that the city was “liberated”, but was devastated by the fighting: French Agency reporters saw shell holes in apartment buildings and damaged vehicles.

Depicting the intensity of the fighting, this street in the city is full of debris and damaged power lines. Supermarkets, cafes and houses on fire or damaged. The roof of a church has been damaged. Only one McDonald’s store seems to have survived.

All the houses nearby look deserted.

A silver car full of bullet holes, another partially crushed, and a burning van near many corpses. “These are the consequences of the Russian occupation,” said the mayor.

Buca and the nearby city of Irpin have experienced some of the fiercest fighting since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, when Russian troops tried to encircle Kyiv.

These two cities resisted, but the price was terribly high and most of the inhabitants escaped the relentless bombing and rocket attacks.
