While driving, the car of the Chief Rabbi of Kherson and the region was attacked by a Russian drone. Yosef Yitzhak Wolf and his family, who were in the car at the time of the attack, were unharmed.

This was reported by the United Jewish Community of Ukraine on the evening of July 17.

The car was seriously damaged in front.

"I just talked to him on the phone. The drone hit the car at the entrance to Kherson, at the time of the impact the rabbi, his wife and young daughter were in the car. The drone flew into the car at a very high speed! Thank God, they were not injured! This is a great miracle!" wrote Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Asman.

The Security Service's counterintelligence and the National Police also provided details of the woman's detention on Kulikove Pole in Odesa. In particular, the SBU press service confirmed that they had prevented a terrorist attack in Odesa.

"Thanks to the proactive actions of law enforcement officers, a Russian agent who tried to blow up the regional shopping center was detained in the port city," the SBU said.

As we wrote earlier, a man who is considered a key figure in building a criminal vertical in Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Kherson regions was recently detained in Odesa.

It is known that the detainee was officially recognized by Russian criminal authorities, and under their supervision he reported on his activities and transferred part of the criminal proceeds to a cash fund used to maintain the criminal structure and strengthen its influence.

As a result of the special operation, the "lookout" was detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
