According to Bratchuk: "After 18:00 yesterday [on Saturday, 30 April] explosions were heard in the city. A missile strike was launched on our airport…Unfortunately, we have some ‘incomings’ and the runway is destroyed and won’t be able to operate. It won’t be able to receive aircraft.

At this moment in time, it cannot be repaired. Rescue work is still underway."

"Odesan air defence equipment is doing its job very well. Odesa is winning 7:0 on enemy planes shot down.

I’d like to say that we know where the cruise missiles were launched from and where they came from to Odesa; from the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea to be precise. These were Oniks cruise missiles launched from Bastion coastal defence missile system."

"…I’d like to remind you that Russia also deployed these missiles in Syria."
