As a result of drone strikes carried out by the Russian army on July 24, the famous "Privoz" market in the city of Odessa suffered significant damage. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This attack had a serious impact on the market's ancient historical site and cultural heritage, particularly the "Fruit Passage" pavilions. Additionally, the central part of Odessa and Primorskiy Boulevard were also damaged.
The "Privoz" market is considered a symbol of the city of Odessa. Its history dates back to 1827, when special areas were allocated for trade.
The name of the market was also formed during this period. The "Fruit Passage," built in 1917, is an important part of the market.
The "Privoz" market serves as an international trade center, playing a significant role in the cultural and gastronomic life of Jews, Russians, Tatars, and other nationalities. As a result of the attacks, fires broke out in many parts of the market, but the fires were quickly extinguished.
Merchants made efforts to protect and preserve their products. At the same time, efforts to safeguard the surviving goods were intensified.
Historical and ancient buildings on Primorskiy Boulevard were also damaged. Windows were broken, facades were damaged, and buildings were harmed.
Among them, the "London" hotel, opened in 1846, the Zolotarev house, and the Voronsovskiy palace were affected. However, this damage did not reach the level of destruction in the "Privoz" pavilions.
As a result of the attacks, four civilians were injured. They have been hospitalized and their health is being monitored.
Rescuers are continuing evacuation and investigation efforts. Rescue services and other organizations are working together to ensure safety and preserve cultural heritage.
Special services are organizing evacuation processes, striving to save human lives. The assistance provided to the injured, the effective organization of rescue operations, and the improvement of social relations are expected to positively impact international trade and economic processes.
This incident will serve as an important lesson for taking new steps in the protection of cultural heritage and enhancing security.
