Warehouse in Odessa undergoes destruction due to BPL bomb explosion.

In the early hours of September 5, 2022, a series of explosions were reported in the city of Odessa, Ukraine. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Odesa region, the explosions occurred amid threats from enemy drones on September 4, 2022.

The source of the information about the explosions is the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Odesa region, which shared the news on their Facebook page. However, the exact nature and source of the explosions remain unclear.

The incident began with a fire in a warehouse, which was quickly extinguished by over 40 firefighters, National Guard unit members, and volunteers. The firefighting efforts were carried out by local emergency services, typically the Ukrainian State Emergency Service (ДСНС), which is responsible for fire and rescue operations in Ukraine.

The fire was caused by a drone strike attributed to Russian forces. The explosions that followed did not cause any reported casualties, although damage was reported to a cargo vehicle.

The mayor of Odessa, Gennady Trukhanov, also reported the explosions in the city overnight on September 4, 2022. The location of the incident, as well as the explosions, was the same as the fire incident in the warehouse.

Preliminary reports indicate no casualties from the incident, but the exact nature of the explosions remains unspecified in the provided information. The State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the Odesa region issued an official statement regarding the fire incident: "Odessa: Russian forces struck the city with UAVs, fire broke out in a warehouse, a cargo vehicle was damaged."

This is not the first time Odessa has faced threats from drones. On September 4, 2022, the city also reported threats from drones, which could be linked to the subsequent explosions and fire in the warehouse.

The situation in Odessa continues to be monitored closely, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
