The before and after images of an Odessa hotel after a Russian night attack
In the early hours of Monday morning, the Russian Army directed a total of 19 Shahed kamikaze drones and 14 missiles, two of them supersonic, against the Ukrainian region of Odessa.. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted all the drones and 11 of the 12 Kalibr cruise missiles launched, but could not prevent some projectiles from hitting different infrastructures.
One of them has been the Odesa Kempinsky hotel, located in the city's seaport.. Although the building no longer offered services to citizens, it had been acquired by Ukrainian businessman Andrí Stavnitser, co-owner and CEO of the TIS Group, one of the main port operators dedicated to agricultural exports.
There have been several users who, through social networks, have shared the before and after of how the hotel looked after the bombing.
