After almost a dozen air raids and large-scale shelling of Odesa with missiles and drones on 10 April, the Day of Liberation of the city from Nazi invaders, the power and number of terrorist attacks decreased for a while. However, over the past two days, the enemy has resumed active criminal acts in the Odesa region.
Chernomorets StadiumYesterday, on 19 April, air raid warnings were sounded six times in Odesa, the longest of which lasted more than an hour and a half. At that time, the aggressor was firing at the regional centre and satellite towns with drones and missiles, the effects of the "arrival" of one of which were observed by the Kryvbas team, which was travelling by club bus from the equally long-suffering Kryvyi Rih to Odesa for a scheduled match with Chornomorets.
Seeing the large puffs of black smoke near the sea, the Kryvyi Rih residents thought of only one thing: that the night and morning before the important game would be quiet. However, this did not happen: the enemy repeatedly attacked the region in the morning. To understand how bold and brutal the aggression is, it is enough to cite the numbers of air alerts during which drone and missile attacks were carried out today:
05:37 - 06:31 (drone threat)
06:43 - 07:02 (missile danger)
08:22 - 08:55 (missile threat)
10:27 - 11:10 (missile threat)
11:55 - 12:59 (missile danger)
13:18 - 13:46 (missile danger)
Given that the traditional pre-match meeting, which was attended by officials, representatives of clubs and all services involved in the organisation of the match, was held at 10 am, its participants are not to be envied. The Odesa fans, who once again during the war have been deprived of the opportunity to watch Chornomorets play live, are also not to be envied. Due to the increased danger in recent days, the ban will also apply to today's match.
We would like to remind you that on Saturday, 20 April, the match of the 25th round of the Ukrainian Premier League is scheduled to take place, in which Chornomorets Odesa and Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih will settle their differences. The match will take place in Odesa at the Chornomorets Stadium. The scheduled kick-off is at 15:30 Kyiv time.
