The Russian army has once again shelled the city of Odesa, located on the Black Sea coast. This time, one of the city’s most recognizable symbols came under attack — Privoz Market, one of the two most famous markets in Odesa, with a history stretching back nearly 200 years.

Russia launched a record number of aerial targets against Ukraine on July 8—741 in a single night. That marked a 40% increase compared to the previous attack, which had taken place just five days earlier. While Moscow publicly claims it is open to peace talks, the scale of its assaults continues to grow.

Tomahawk missiles can strike targets over 1,600 km away, which would be critical for targeting a large number of Russian military sites.

The Russian military launched Shahed drones and ballistic missiles at the capital of Ukraine. The exact number of aerial weapons is still being verified, but in previous attacks, reports have cited over 500 drones alone.

Russia’s drone war on Ukrainian cities is intensifying, with 550 drones and missiles launched in one night—the second major assault in a week. The strikes aim to overwhelm air defenses, making interception systems critical for survival.
