Ukraine: Russia targets Odesa infrastructure in recent airstrikes

A Russian strike had hit “critical infrastructure” in the southern port city of Odesa, Serhii Bratchuk, spokesman of the Operational Staff of Odesa regional military administration said Sunday.

“One of the critical infrastructure objects was hit this this morning,” he said on national television. “Currently the situation is under control, the respective services are working on site. The details will be announced later.”

A black plume of smoke was visible over the city Sunday morning, and a fuel depot in the Ukrainian city of Odesa was burning, according to a CNN team on the scene, with one witness telling CNN they heard six explosions at the fuel depot before sunrise.
