2024 became a year of constant tension and threat for Odesa. The city heard air raids 811 times, which is equivalent to 32 full days.
This is an impressive figure that clearly demonstrates the scale of the military threat facing Odesa and the entire region. The Odesa Oblast Patrol Police reminds residents of the importance of following safety rules during air raids: quickly taking cover and protecting yourself and your loved ones. Unfortunately, during these 32 days, the sirens were not just a signal of caution. They were accompanied by real attacks on civilian infrastructure, which took the lives of 97 civilians, including 10 children. This tragic statistic is almost twice as high as the figures for the previous two years, which emphasizes the aggravation of the situation in the region.
