The Black Sea port plays a vital role in Ukraine's overall economy and is currently under a Russian naval blockade. The city is a key strategic target for the Russians and has been subjected to heavy bombardment. However, Russian commanders appeared to get their targets confused, after wiping out a beach toilet in the city instead.
The destruction of the public bathroom was confirmed in a statement issued by Ukraine's southern operational command.
They said: "Another missile strike with the use of aircraft was inflicted on the Odesa region.
"With air-based missiles, the enemy significantly 'damaged the air' in the southern Odesa region.
"The beach toilet was destroyed. Apart from the hopelessly lost conscience and reputation of the aggressor, there were no other losses."
