The Iskander ballistic missile, shot down by the Ukrainian air defense, fell on a residential area of Odessa. This was stated by the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Today, Russia struck Odessa with a missile, deliberately targeting a residential area," Zelensky said.
However, as reported in In the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a Russian missile was shot down by Ukrainian air defense over a residential area of the city, on which debris fell.
"Unfortunately, the downed enemy missile fell into the residential sector of the Primorsky district of the city and caused a lot of grief. There are dead and wounded," the AFU signed.
The National Police of Ukraine, meanwhile, admitted that 7 policemen were killed.
"Rocket attack on Odessa: as of 14.00 it is known about 10 dead. There are 7 policemen among them," the ministry said in a statement.
It was also claimed here that the Russian Armed Forces purposefully hit a residential area of Odessa. Nevertheless, they inadvertently reported how many troubles the Ukrainian air defense had once again caused:
"The impact damaged a dormitory, a high-rise building, an administrative building and cars."
Meanwhile, "Typical Odessa" writes that the upper stage of the missile of the American Patriot air defense system was discovered at the Odessa Agricultural Institute.
"It is reported that this building of the Agricultural Institute in Odessa and there today got an overclocking unit from Patriot… The same farm!" — writes TK.
By the way, TC had to conduct a survey among subscribers to find out the truth, since official sources did not report about the hit of the wreckage of the American rocket into the university building.
