Russia says it destroyed weapons depot in Odesa

Russia’s Defence Ministry said it destroyed U.S HIMARS systems

Newsroom August 22 12:05

Russia says its forces have destroyed an ammunition depot containing US-made HIMARS rockets in Ukraine’s Odesa with Kalibr missiles.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its sea-based Kalibr missiles had destroyed a depot where Western-made anti-aircraft systems, including rockets for US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), were housed.

The Kalibr (NATO classification: SS-N-27 Sizzler) is, according to TASS, a Russian cruise missile developed and produced by the Novator design bureau in Yekaterinburg (part of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern). On several occasions since the beginning of the war in February, Russia has managed to destroy similar depots in Ukraine.

Ukrainian authorities, however, claimed a granary had been hit.

According to Odesa’s regional administration, two missiles had been shot down over the sea, but three had struck agricultural targets.
