The Russian shelling of a hotel near the Odesa seaport is a pathetic attempt by the occupiers to retaliate for the Ukrainian attack on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

"Last night, Russian missiles hit a hotel in Odesa. A greedy attempt to retaliate for our successful strike on the headquarters of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol," the ministry said. 

Earlier we reported that 19 attack drones (all shot down) and two supersonic Onyx missiles attacked Odesa region at night, the Southern Defense Forces inform.
