Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov said the attack left no casualties. “Today the occupiers hit critical infrastructure sites in Odessa with missiles,” Trukhanov said in a televised address. “Fortunately, there are no casualties. Only buildings are damaged. The situation is now under control.”
The mayor also speculated that Russia could deploy a contingent of troops stationed in Transnistria – a breakaway republic in neighboring Moldova – echoing concerns raised by Ukrainian officials.
“Of course, at some point, sooner or later, they will use them,” he said. “It’s hard to say in which direction, but there is a threat. (The Armed Forces of Ukraine) know this and are working.”
