Russia launched its war against the neighbouring country more than 16 months ago. Russia launched air strikes on the Odessa region on the Black Sea overnight on Monday, officials said. The Ukrainian air defence was able to shoot down six Russian Kalibr cruise missiles and 21 combat drones, the Ukrainian military said via Facebook on Tuesday. Falling debris and shock waves caused damage to the port of Odessa, and to private homes. One resident was injured. Three ports in the Odessa region, in southern Ukraine, are part of the Black Sea grain deal between Russia and Ukraine, brokered by Turkey and the United Nations. Does Russia want to also control Odessa region ?
