According to information shared on Twitter, the drones that flew over Odesa on Friday would be of the Shahed-136 type – aircraft of the type of stray munitions (loose ammunition), which can fly long distances, have an explosive charge on board and detonate on impact with a target.

Images posted on social media show several such kamikaze drones, with at least one flying in the city center and another allegedly striking a target in the port.

It seems that one of the drones was hit by anti-aircraft defense systems, and on other footage, numerous shots can be heard, probably by Ukrainian forces, in the direction of the drones.
