On the night of March 5, the Russian Armed Forces launched multiple strikes on the Ukrainian military facilities. Russian strikes destroyed targets in the eastern regions in the rear areas, including in Volchansk in the Kharkiv region and in Pokrovsk and Slavyansk areas in the DPR; but the main direction of the Russian strikes was the Odessa region, which came under one of the most massive attacks.
Last night, the largest number of strikes was recorded in the Odessa region. Despite the claims by the Ukrainian Air Forces about the downing of 18 out of the 22 kamikaze drones “Geran-2”, numerous explosions thundered in the Odessa region. The targets included the port infrastructure, air defense/electronic warfare equipment and points of accommodation of Ukrainian servicemen and foreign fighters. In total, Russian strikes were confirmed in at least seven areas.
Russian drones struck the following targets in the Odessa region:
- Sea Port in Yuzhny and Sea Port in Odessa, which are used for shipment of military cargo, including ammunition and drones. The strikes are launched amid the increased activity of foreign bulk carriers in the Black Sea.
- The Gidroport airfield located on the outskirts of the village of Naberezhnoe, where a mobile NASAMS anti-aircraft missile system was reportedly destroyed.
- At least two Russian UAVs struck the building of the neurological department of the Hadjibey Sanatorium for children located in the village of Usatovo. The facility was used for accommodation of one of the newly created brigades of the Ukrainian territorial defense. According to unconfirmed reports, at least 13 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and wounded as a result of the strike.
- Russian UAVs struck military facilities near the village of Dachnoye, northwest of Odessa. A railway line used for transfer of military personnel and equipment to and from Odessa runs through this village. According to some local reports, the target was the military base located in the forest area near the village
- Russian strikes in Chernomorskoe (Chabanka) reportedly destroyed the temporary deployment point of the 28th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces and the hangars with unmanned boats.
- Explosions also thundered in the village of Kotovsky.
In an attempt to protect the military facilities in the region, the Ukrainian air defense systems deployed in Odessa launched strikes from the city limits, posing threat to the local civilian population.
“department of the hadjibey sanatorium for children” some high ranking otan affiliate probably thought it was funny to house their soldiers there after they took the children off to be sacrificed somewhere or used in experiments.
macron how many frogs have you eaten lately? can someone give macron an ak47 so he can go fight in ukraine? his old haggard wife can bring along fresh diapers. don’t you love it when cowards are willing to let others die in a nuclear war??
hahaha. and after some frogs he had some snails. hahaha
ukraine is going to lose its ports on the black see via anexiation. the only way to teach them lessons.
ukraine never deserved those russian ports to begin with.
exactly. not after the maidan coup.
“the strikes are launched amid the increased activity of foreign bulk carriers in the black sea.”
well done…
odessa was a historic city and now ukrainians and nato is ruining it by making it a warzone by launching attacks from there. russia should have taken it in 2020.maybe it will still take, but hardly intact…
macron is ready to sacrifice the lives of his own people in a nuclear war since he will be hiding in a bunker with his old wife who keeps fresh diapers for him. macron the warrior!!! lol. napoleon macron!!!
the ukronazis are likely very, very afraid of getting cut off or stranded in the odessa region, seeing mostly russians. going to happen one can be sure in the very near future.
who knows what to believe. russia claims “massive drone strike”, and ukraine claims “we shot down 18 drones of the 22”. how do we even know russia used only 22 drones. on the other hand, even if ukraine managed to shoot down many, the remaining drones still caused damage. either way, it is not a win for ukraine. not a win for russia either, since ukraine sunk another russian navy ship with unmanned drone boats.
a good place to start is by examining who has the track record of lies. a single russian naval ship is peanuts compared to the gains they’ve made on the ground with many thousands of troops, the missiles, drones, artillery, and tanks that are all doing the heavy lifting.
victoria nuland resigned today. i wonder if it is because there is no hope for ukraine? funny, that she was there in 2014, bragging about the $5 billion provided to kiev, for them to think the us way. handing out the cookies and yet, does not want to hang around for the finale? or did she meet her end in kiev, if rumour has it correct?
not forgetting her ‘fuck the eu’ comment. she let slip just what the usadmin thinks of europe. the only reason the usadmin bothers with the europe is because they like to fight their wars there. i don’t think they are going to like the next war they start.
f*ck you and your worthless videos
our defeat celebrated by civilized peoples. we now relegated to a cesspool of lgbt drug addicts criminals and mean bitter puritanical peasants
