The Ukrainian Odessa area is famous for its beaches on the Black Sea coast. There is great danger due to sea linen in the water, as fatal incidents show.

In the Ukrainian Odessa area on the Black Sea, three bathing people have been killed in the water for explosions. According to Governor Oleh Kiper, the two men and a woman swam into waters that are not released for bathing operations. In many places in the region, there is a danger to life because of the seafaring seaside war. A man and a woman were killed in Satoka, a man in Karolino-Buhas during an explosion, said Kiper.

The governor published a list of 32 safe beaches and warned the bathers to stick to the information from the authorities. The Odessa area is always attacked by Russian drones.

According to the authorities, the explosions occurred about 50 meters from the bank. It was initially unclear what kind of explosive devices it was. They detonated when the floors came into contact with it. Kiper said that investigators examined the two cases. At the same time, he warned that there is a risk to life both in the water and on land of the non -released beach sections.

Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian attack war for almost three and a half years.
