The city of Odessa (Ukraine) has been targeted by numerous strikes for several days. Tuesday, May 10, the population sees the extent of the damage.
It’s chaos in the shopping center of Odessa (Ukraine) Tuesday, May 10. The first investigations take place in the still smoking ruins. There were reportedly at least two missile strikes the previous day around 10:30 p.m. The explosions were felt as far away as downtown. “It was scary. There was a flash and then a huge shock wave”says a resident.
About fifty kilometers away, two hotels on the shores of the Black Sea were pulverized. A warehouse area was also hit. The report shows one dead and several injured. According to the mayor of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov, the seven strikes did not target military sites contrary to Russian claims. In recent days, strikes have been increasing in Odessa, a strategic city located in southern Ukraine. “The intensification of the strikes on Odessa and its region sounds like a warning: it is not only the Donbass in Vladimir Putin’s line of sight”declares Stéphanie Perez, special correspondent in Odessa, in the 23h of Franceinfo.
