An attempt to strike the island was made on the morning of June 20

The Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed more than 15 attack and reconnaissance drones, including two Bayraktar TB-2, attempts were made to strike the island with Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missiles, Uragan multiple launch rocket systems and 155mm M-777 howitzers .

None of the Ukrainian shells hit the target, 13 Ukrainian drones, four Tochka-U missiles and 21 Uragan MLRS shells were shot down.

In response, Onyx cruise missiles fired at the Shkolny military airfield near Odessa destroyed hangars with Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 UAVs identified by Russian reconnaissance equipment.

On Kubansky Island near Odessa, two artillery platoons of 155mm M777 howitzers were found in positions, then highlighted by drones and sent to scrap.

Russian aviation also destroyed two launchers of the S-300 air defense system in the Ochakov and Tuzla regions of the Odessa region.
