Serhii Bratchuk, Odesa Military Administration Spokesman, has requested that any photos or videos that had been taken at the scene, should not be shared as rescue workers are still at the scene and conducting rescue operations.

Even though Russian forces have been concentrating on the Eastern Ukrainian region, this has not kept Odesa and other western Ukrainian cities out of the conflict. Western cities have been under constant threat of cruise missile and air-to-ground attacks, such as the one that occurred this morning.
The night before this attack, another attack on the city of Dnipro, claimed the lives of 3 and injured 16. There were a total of 6 missiles fired into the Dnipro region, and 4 of these were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense systems. The 2 missiles that were able to penetrate the defenses did in fact strike industrial areas, and the amount of damage is still being assessed.
These attacks came after the Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, instructed all military units, operating in Ukraine, to intensify their combat activity on all fronts. This enhancement is targeted at stopping Ukrainian forces from initiating rocket attacks on the cities of the Donbas and other regions which are under the control of the Russian Federation. His order was called to enhance and shore up military units in the south and center, according to TASS.
