Ukraine has begun using weapons, banned by 120 countries, in ‘last week or so’, White House says; grain terminal hit in Odesa

In addition to those two injuries sustained in the attack on Odesa reported by governor Oleh Kiper, state broadcaster Suspilne has reported these other incidents in its wrap-up of overnight news:

On July 20, four workers were killed and two more people were injured in an attack by Russian troops on an infrastructure facility in the Polohivskyi district of the Zaporizhzhia region, the regional authority reported.

In Kharkiv oblast, a 56-year-old woman was injured as a result of night shelling. In the Kherson region, on the night of 21 July, the Russian Federation shelled four locations. No injuries were reported.

The Russians attacked Odesa with Kalibr cruise missiles from the Black Sea. Trying to bypass air defence systems, the enemy directed missiles at the minimum height, using the features of the landscape.

After three consecutive nights of powerful missile and drone terror of the port infrastructure, they switched to agricultural enterprises in the region.
