Data for analysis was sourced from the official channel of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and from the official channels of the local authorities of Odesa and the Odesa region.
Between January and March 2025, the Russian armed forces carried out at least 35 attacks using various types of missiles and UAVs targeting the ports of Greater Odesa, as well as the energy and industrial infrastructure of the Odesa region near the ports — an average of one attack every three days. These attacks were launched from the TOT of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, the TOT of southern mainland Ukraine, and from the territory of the Russian Federation.
*The total number of attacks using different types of weapons may exceed the overall number of attacks, as a single attack could involve both missiles and UAVs simultaneously.
In January–February 2025, a total of at least 35 attacks were carried out: March – 14; February – 14; January – 7.
Between January and March 2025, the Russian armed forces used the following weapons for missile and other strikes on the ports of Greater Odesa (Odesa Sea Trade Port, Pivdennyi Port, and Chornomorsk Port):
Primary launch sites for strikes on port infrastructure:
From January to March 2025, a total of 10 naval mines were neutralized in the Odesa region using controlled detonation:
During the same period, 2 attacks on civilian vessels were recorded, resulting in 3 damaged ships, civilian fatalities, and damage to port infrastructure. All vessels were struck by Iskander-M ballistic missiles at the Odesa Sea Trade Port (STP):
From January to March 2025, a total of 659 ship calls were recorded at the three ports of Odesa involved in the “export corridor” operations:

NEW TACTICS OF DRONE STRIKES – Terror against Civilians: The attack was called one of the most massive attacks on Odesa. Military experts emphasized that the Russians used a new tactic: in addition to accumulating drones in the sea, they launch UAVs at an altitude of more than 2 km, where it is almost impossible to shoot them down. From an altitude of 2 km, the drone descends sharply and enters the target, which greatly affects accuracy. The key goal is to indiscriminately destroy and intimidate civilians.
