The Ukrainian authorities have once again accused Russia of indiscriminate strikes on civilian objects: at night, military facilities in Odessa were attacked by kamikaze drones and cruise missiles. The Network publishes footage of a missile from one of the AFU’s air defence systems first rising into the air and then falling and exploding on the city’s territory. The speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ southern command, Nataliya Humenyuk, admitted that “missiles flying towards Odessa had to be shot down over residential neighbourhoods”.
On the night of 14 August, the Russian Air Force launched a combined air strike against military targets on the territory and in the suburbs of Odessa. There were successful strikes on port infrastructure.
Ukrainian media reported that the fall of missile debris caused a fire in one of the city’s hypermarkets, 3 people were injured. Kiev immediately accused the Russian side of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on Odessa.
At the same time, local residents began to publish footage of another failure of the Ukrainian air defence forces. The footage, taken by an outdoor surveillance camera, clearly shows how a missile from one of the AFU air defence systems in Odessa first took off and then fell, causing a large explosion. It is possible that the fall of this very missile caused a fire in an Odessa hypermarket.
In the morning, on 14 August, the speaker of the Ukrainian armed forces’ southern command, Nataliya Humenyuk, said that “missiles flying towards Odessa had to be shot down over residential neighbourhoods”.
Ukrainian social networks began publishing debris from S-300 anti-aircraft systems “covering” the city from strikes by the Russian Federation’s air defence forces this morning. Afterwards, they were urgently deleted, apparently realising their responsibility for another act of discrediting the Ukrainian air defence forces.
