Quote: "There has been a missile attack on one of the hromadas [amalgamated territorial communities] of the Odesa region. A quarry was hit."

Details: Information concerning victims is being collected.

Odesa City Council, citing Operational Command Pivden [South], reported that Odesa was attacked by two Iskander-type missiles fired from the temporarily occupied Crimea.

There is no information about victims.                            

Quote from Operational Command Pivden [South]: "The explosion of rockets in the air caused so-called heat traps to fly over the territory of the Odesa region. They look like an unexploded projectile or are dart-shaped with an orange tail. This is quite a dangerous thing, as it has a high burning temperature and can cause large-scale burns.

Several such traps caused dry grass to catch fire. Rescue services have responded quickly, extinguishing fires."
