Russia shooting missiles at Black Sea coast near Odesa, Ukraine official says
Russian warships have fired missiles and artillery at the Ukrainian sea coast near Tuzla, to the south of Odesa, Interior Ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko says.
“They fired a huge amount of ammunition from a great distance,” he says on Facebook.
Gerashchenko says Russia wanted to test Ukraine’s coastal defense system with the midnight strikes.
He said there was no attempt to land troops. He didn’t say whether any of the shelling hit anything.
