A look back at attacks on grain stores and a building in southern Ukraine reported on 21 July 2023.
What did Russian strikes in southern Ukraine leave behind in the hours before 22 July 2023? Reports from 21 July 2023 pointed to two separate attacks, one on Odesa and one on Mykolaiv.
In Odesa, the Russian Armed Forces struck grain warehouses with Kalibr missiles. According to Governor Oleh Kiper, the attack destroyed 120 tons of crops and injured two civilians.
In Mykolaiv, Russian forces struck a building, killing two civilians.
Both attacks were listed among Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure during the invasion. The Odesa strike hit stored grain directly, while the Mykolaiv strike was reported with a toll of two civilian deaths.
The two reports from 21 July 2023 show the pattern of strikes on southern Ukrainian cities at that point in the war: missiles aimed at storage facilities in one city and a building hit in another, with civilians injured or killed in each.
