On the evening of December 22, the Russians attacked Odesa again with attack drones, damaging port infrastructure and a civilian vessel.

According to the head of the Odesa regional military administration, Oleh Kiper, there were no reports of casualties.

In the morning, the attacks on the region continued. It is worth noting that this is not the first ship to be damaged in the port, as the Russians are deliberately trying to terrorize the civilian sector of the Odesa region.

On the evening of December 19, Russia attacked a port infrastructure facility in Odesa region with ballistic missiles. A passenger bus was in the epicenter of the attack, with people on board who were killed and injured. Also, trucks caught fire in the parking lot and cars were damaged.

In the evening of December 18, during an attack in Odesa region, an enemy attack drone hit a bridge connecting settlements in the area of the Dniester estuary and also hit a bridge over the Dniester River near the village of Mayaki. There, it hit a civilian car that was crossing the bridge. The car was occupied by a woman with three children. The mother was seriously injured and died in an ambulance. Her three children were taken to the hospital with injuries and acute stress reaction.

On December 12, Russians set fire to a ship in the port of Chornomorsk. On November 17, residents of the village of Plauru in Tulcea, Romania, and their animals were evacuated due to the danger of an explosion in the area after a ship carrying thousands of tons of liquefied petroleum gas caught fire near the Ukrainian port of Izmail, Odesa region. The vessel was damaged by a Russian drone that attacked the Odesa region on the night of November 17.
