The US Department of Defense does not have evidence of the use of hypersonic missiles of the Dagger type with recent strikes by the Russian army in Odessa.
Deutsche Welle reports that a senior pentagon’s employee told reporters on Tuesday, on May 10, which cannot confirm the use of such weapons in Odessa, clarifying, however, that in recent days, air strikes in the city have intensified.
According to him, since the beginning of the war, Russian troops used hypersonic weapons in ten to twelve cases. The representative of the American Ministry of Defense also stated that there is no evidence of the attack on Odessa from the ground forces or from the Black Sea. “Odessa is still under the control of Ukraine,” he said.
According to the Ukrainian military, on Tuesday night, Russian VKS released hypersonic missiles like Dagger along Odessa. In total, seven missiles were released along Odessa.
