Russia attacked Odesa Oblast with Onyx supersonic anti-ship missiles, hitting an agriculture enterprise, regional governor, Oleh Kiper, reported on Telegram on Jan. 17.
"After a massive drone attack on Odesa overnight, Russian terrorists struck the Oblast with missiles in the morning," Kiper said.
Onyx missiles were launched at the Odesa and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi districts, he said.
An empty livestock and hay storage facility was destroyed as a result, with no people or animals injured, Kiper said.
An air-raid alert was announced in many regions of Ukraine due to a fresh Russian attack overnight on Jan. 17. Odesa was the main target of the Russian drone attack. Eleven drones were intercepted along the coast, with most crashing into the Black Sea.
Three people were injured in the attack, while a total of 130 civilians were evacuated from a damaged apartment building.
Ukraine intercepted 19 of the 20 Iranian Shahed drones launched by Russian occupiers overnight on Jan. 17, said Ukraine’s Air Force.
