  • Russia claims to have struck port infrastructure near Odesa, including facilities for military cargo, fuel storage, and ammunition depots.
  • Russian forces also reported hitting two ferries and a container ship.
  • Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on the alleged strikes.

Russia's Ministry of Defense has announced strikes targeting port infrastructure near Odesa, a key Ukrainian city on the Black Sea. According to the ministry's statement, the targets included facilities used for unloading military cargo, fuel storage tanks, and ammunition warehouses. Russian forces also claimed to have hit two ferries and a container ship during the operation.

These alleged strikes come amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Earlier reports indicated that Ukrainian forces had attacked Russian oil processing plants and vessels in the Sea of Azov over the weekend. However, Ukrainian authorities have remained silent regarding the latest Russian claims about the Odesa port strikes.

The situation remains tense in the Black Sea region, with both sides reporting military actions against each other's assets. The lack of immediate comment from Ukrainian officials leaves the full extent and impact of the alleged Russian strikes unconfirmed.
