Significance
Odesa and its surrounding region have been subjected to repeated shelling and air strikes by Russian forces during the southern Ukraine offensive that began with the full-scale invasion in February 2022. Russian warships operating in the Black Sea have contributed to the bombardment, alongside cruise missile strikes directed at the city. As a major Black Sea port, Odesa held strategic and economic importance within the southern axis of the conflict, making it a sustained target of Russian fire throughout the campaign.
Tactics
Russian forces struck Odesa and the surrounding region through a combination of naval gunfire from warships positioned offshore in the Black Sea and cruise missile attacks. The use of sea-based platforms to deliver strikes against the city reflected the role of Black Sea naval power in the broader southern offensive.
