The attack was “very powerful, truly massive,” Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesmann for the Odesa military administration, said in a voice message on his Telegram channel on Wednesday.Ukraine’s southern military command said Russia had used supersonic missiles, including the Kh-22 that was designed to take out aircraft carriers, to hit Odesa’s port infrastructure.
