On the morning of July 16, after the missile attack in Odesa, Russian propaganda on Telegram channels spread information about the destruction of "military targets," "objects of the Armed Forces," and "strike on defense objects." It is not true.

The mayor of Odesa, Henadiy Trukhanov, showed a video from the site of the attack and said that the Russians launched a missile attack using Tu-95 strategic aircraft from the direction of Stavropol. The rocket hit the warehouse of the production and trading company, and a fire broke out with an approximate area of ​​1000 m2. "Smoke can be seen far beyond Odesa. As of this minute, there are no data on victims and victims," ​​Trukhanov commented.

As StopFake writes, the nature of the fire and the absence of accompanying explosions indicate that there was no ammunition in the warehouse. The fire has been extinguished. In the case of hitting a warehouse with ammunition, objects located near the warehouse would be damaged due to the explosion. Official photos from the scene of the incident were published by "Suspilne Odesa" 3 hours after the missile strike; it can be said that the object was not military.
