As an UNIAN correspondent reports, explosions were also heard in Odessa today, July 21, during an air raid alert. According to monitoring channels, Russia struck Odessa and the Odessa region with drones and missiles.

As reported by the head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration, Oleg Kiper, the enemy carried out a combined missile and drone attack on the region. In particular, in the center of Odessa, civilian infrastructure facilities were damaged: the facade and glazing of a four-story residential building and adjacent buildings. Cars parked nearby were also damaged.

A 17-year-old boy and a 23-year-old girl were injured in the city center. In addition, a private residential building was damaged by a blast wave from a rocket strike in the Odessa district. Information on the consequences of the attack and the number of victims in the hit areas is being clarified.

Deputy Head of the Odessa City Military Administration Serhiy Krasylenko said that the Russians opened fire in the afternoon, in the middle of the working day, just along one of the central streets of the regional center. Two people were sent to the hospital: a girl who was wounded in the leg, and a boy with shrapnel wounds to his back. The third victim was given assistance on the spot. He said that he managed to fall to the asphalt, otherwise “he would have been torn to pieces.”
