Odessa region

Approximately half an hour before midnight on May 8, explosions were heard in Odessa and the region: about this LIGA.net reported by four interlocutors in the region. It later emerged that Russia had fired Kh-22 missiles. At the same time, the invaders launched kamikaze drones of the Shahed-131/136 type in the northern regions, and air defense worked in Kyiv for a long time.

IN 23:21 head of the Nikolaev military administration Vitaly Kimwhich often reports information about the strikes of the occupiers, wrote: “Odessa! Gently. Do not ignore the alarm,” later adding that there would supposedly be two waves of strikes.

Around 23:24/25 the first strong explosion thundered, sources in the city said, five minutes later – again.

Around the same time (23:24) an explosion “somewhere far away” was heard by the interlocutor LIGA.net and in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, another one – a few minutes later.

Explosions against the background of an air raid may be the result of both the “arrival” of a Russian kamikaze drone or missile, and the sounds of the operation of anti-aircraft missile systems of air defense. Until the military/authorities report or credible evidence emerges, this remains unknown. During alarms, unofficial Telegram channels often spread false information or outright fake news about the threat of strikes.
