According to the interlocutor of RIA Novosti, the inhabitants of Odessa woke up after a strong explosion, which turned out to be a shot from an air defense system missile. “The air defense system was located right between the residential buildings on Kanatnaya Street,” Lebedev said.
She clarified that she fired two bursts: one missile flew towards the sea and the second shot down a projectile that was flying over her.
“As a result, an air defense missile and a downed missile fell on the Vostok bank along 16 Kanatnaya street,” the underground worker added.
The pictures clearly show what a ruin the building has become.
Earlier it was reported that kyiv transferred a large number of air defense systems to the Odessa and Nikolaev area. In particular, the Patriot, NASAMS and IRIS-T systems were seen there, and the German Gepard air defense systems were deployed near the port facilities.
At the same time, it is known that the Ukrainian air defense often hits residential areas of cities due to the unprofessionalism of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which happened in Odessa.
