“People’s bodies are lying on the road. 8 dead already!”, – informs Odesa INFO.
The missile attack on Odesa was another act of aggression aimed at intimidating the civilian population. The city came under attack again, which shows the desire of the Russian military to escalate violence in areas where there are no military facilities. As a result of the attack, not only residential buildings were affected, but also places where people went about their daily business, not expecting that the war would affect them in their own homes.
Local emergency services are working at the scene, trying to help the victims and rescue those who may still be under the rubble. The work is carried out under the constant threat of new attacks, and the rescuers are doing everything possible to quickly respond to the tragedy.
