The Russian occupation forces launched a missile attack on Odessa region using tactical aircraft on Tuesday, the Pivden (South) Operational Command has said.

"Su-24 aircraft approached from the sea and fired 4 anti-radar missiles in the direction of the coast, presumably Kh-31P," it said on Facebook.

Thanks to effective countermeasures, the missiles were destroyed over the sea, however, their fragments and the blast wave damaged a kindergarten on the coast and several private houses in the neighborhood. No casualties were reported.

"The enemy once again recalled that the coast is still a line of hostilities and is extremely dangerous. Therefore, observation of martial law restrictions is justified and expedient, in particular, to save lives," the command said.
