Where were the Russians aiming when the Greek delegation arrived in Odessa: the answer from the Operational Command "South"

The occupiers struck Odesa on March 6 during the visit of the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Greece. However, it is not immediately clear what the enemy's ballistic strike was aimed at.

Head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense Forces of South of Ukraine, Natalia Humeniuk, said this in a comment to "24 Kanal", noting that the Russians continue their terror in southern Ukraine. In particular, port infrastructure is a priority for the aggressors. It should be noted that Russia attacked Odesa in the morning.

"We can state that the ballistic strike targeted the port infrastructure. Currently, the investigation is ongoing, and it will definitively determine the type of weapon used in the strike, as well as the probable trajectory of movement," Humeniuk emphasized. She notes that it remains a fact that the enemy struck the port infrastructure of Odesa region during an international-level meeting. The investigation and intelligence will determine, whether the Russian attack was aimed directly at the delegation. "Currently, we can confirm that the strike targeted the port infrastructure, and it coincided with the visit of the delegation," Natalia Humeniuk said.
