At night, the enemy launched a missile attack with 3 missiles on the village of Sergeevka, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district. The blow destroyed a high-rise building and a recreation center.

Because of such actions of the Russian invaders, 21 people died, including 1 boy, who is 12 years old. The head of the Odesa OVA Maxim Marchenko said that 38 people are in hospitals, including 5 children. The condition of two children is serious.

The freaks who launched rockets at a peaceful village only confirmed that Russia's ultimate goal is the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Once again, the fiends said they were hitting the ammo train. Maybe you can tell the dead child or the boy in intensive care about this, Marchenko said.

He assured that there were no military facilities there. Russia will never be washed off the status of a terrorist state, because it is written in the blood of our children. Marchenko promised that we would avenge every dead and wounded.

A hellish day for Odessa region

Sergey Bratchuk, a representative of the Odessa OVA, called this day hellish for Odessa region in this no less hellish war.

Every day is special for us today because our people are dying. The enemy will burn in hell. Although, I'm not sure that the devils will take them there,” he said.

Bratchuk expressed condolences to all the families and friends of the victims. He also thanked the rescuers, doctors and all other services involved in the rescue and assistance. He called Russia a terrorist organization.

At the same time, a spokesman for the OVA warned that there would be many more such difficult, eventful days ahead.

What was the reaction of the Kremlin

• In Russia, on this score, they were silent for half a day. Subsequently, a comment was made by Putin's henchman and press secretary Dmitry Peskov. Everything was in the usual spirit. Like, “they don't shoot at civilians.” He simply cynically repeated Putin's words.
• In the Office of the President, the same actions of Russia were called terror. And Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba also reacted to such actions of the aggressor. He told what Ukraine needs to prevent this from happening again. Kuleba urged partners to provide Ukraine with modern air defense systems as soon as possible. He asked in this way to help us save lives and put an end to this war.
• In the Odessa region, July 2 was declared a day of mourning for those killed in the Belgorod-Dniester region. In the region, state flags should be lowered on the buildings of local government, enterprises, institutions and organizations. It is also not allowed to hold high-profile public events on this day.
