Russian forces attacked the "7th Kilometer" industrial goods market near Odesa on September 8, damaging pavilions and injuring a 58-year-old guard who was hospitalized in moderate condition. Oleg Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration, confirmed the overnight strike. Witnesses reported three guards injured, with significant damage to trade pavilions and a toilet building visible in local videos. The "7th Kilometer" market, Europe's largest wholesale-retail industrial goods market, spans over 110 hectares. Before Russia's full-scale invasion, it housed 15,000 trade facilities and employed 60,000 people, though wartime has reduced both workforce and visitor numbers.
