V. Zelensky gave an order to strengthen the air defense around infrastructure facilities, transport, government bodies and decision-making centers, expressing for the first time fears of a Russian "beheading blow" of the country's political and military leadership.
Already last night, Russia proceeded with the first retaliation for the attack on the Kerch Bridge by bombing the ports of Nikolaev and Odessa.
Russian missile attack on the ports of Odessa and Nikolaev
Last night, the Russian military bombarded infrastructure facilities in the ports of Odessa and Nikolaev with drones and cruise missiles.
Ukrainian sources claim that Russia launched six Kalibr missiles against the ports of Odessa, which were successfully shot down by air defense systems. However, videos show explosions in the area.
At the same time, the Russian military launched a combined strike. First, Ukrainian military facilities were attacked by "Geran-2" unmanned aerial vehicles, then Kalibr cruisers followed.
Huge damage was also done to military installations located in the city, the port and the wider area of Nikolaev.
Russian Ministry of Defense: The attack was retaliation!
The Russian Defense Ministry described the nighttime attacks on Ukrainian military installations in the Odesa and Nikolaev regions as a retaliatory strike.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that places were hit where terrorist acts against the Russian Federation were being planned.
Tonight, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a massive retaliatory strike with high-precision naval weapons on facilities where terrorist acts against the Russian Federation were being prepared using unmanned vessels.
Attacks took place at a ship repair factory in Odessa, where maritime drones were manufactured.
In addition, in the area of the cities of Nikolaev and Odessa, fuel storage facilities with a total volume of approximately 70 thousand tons were destroyed, from which the military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was supplied with fuel.
We remind you that on the evening of July 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Crimean bridge using unmanned vessels. The result of the attack was that two people were killed, while the bridge was seriously damaged.
The day before, Vladimir Putin said that Russia would definitely respond to this attack.
Andriy Yermak, head of V. Zelensky's administration, admitted that a port was attacked in Nikolaev.
"The night attack by the Russians on Odessa and Nikolaev with missiles and a kamikaze drone is another proof that the terrorist country wants to endanger the lives of 400 million people in various countries of the world who depend on Ukraine's food exports" , said Germak, commenting on the night attacks. .
