Night in Odessa: Russians attack the city with strike drones and numerous explosions
On the night of June 28, a serious sound of explosions was heard again in Odessa, indicating another attack by the Russian occupiers on the strategically important port city. At this time, a familiar picture was already ahead - from 23:40 on June 27, residents and guests of the city heard a series of loud explosions and the sounds of automatic air defense fire. Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov immediately reported this emergency situation, urging all Odessans to take shelter in order to avoid danger. According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the late evening, kamikaze drones - strike drones of the Russian occupiers - appeared again over the city. This was another wave of attacks aimed at critical infrastructure facilities and vital areas of the city. At 23:51, warnings appeared on social media — the Ukrainian military urged residents to take shelter due to the high risk to life and health. Already at midnight, the situation in Odessa remained tense: explosions and the sounds of air defense systems were still heard in the city center. Locals reported heavy firefights and attempts to neutralize drones that were greedily targeting targets in the Primorsky district, in particular, in the city center. At this time, Trukhanov warned residents that the danger was especially great for central districts, in particular, in the very heart of Odessa, where important administrative buildings and commercial facilities are located. Overall, the night attack once again confirmed the high level of readiness of Russian forces to use strike drones to damage key infrastructure and destabilize the situation in the region. Local authorities and security services have stepped up their efforts to minimize the consequences of the attack, but the inescapable fact remains that Odesa is once again on high alert. Residents are still in a state of tension, awaiting further official announcements and information about possible developments.
