- Russian forces struck port infrastructure in Ukraine's Izmail district and Odesa overnight, damaging a Togo-flagged civilian vessel, regional governor Oleh Kiper reported on Monday.
- Russia's defence ministry claimed its forces hit military targets, describing them as "a berthing terminal used for unloading vessels carrying military cargo, hangars housing Western military equipment, and depots for naval drones," though Reuters could not verify these assertions.
- Fires at the port facilities were fully extinguished following the attack, while four people—including three hospitalized—received medical care for injuries sustained during the overnight strike.
- Ukraine's Agriculture Ministry reduced its 2026-2027 export forecast by 54% to 29.6 million tons, down from 64.4 million, while wheat exports fell 53% to 8.3 million tons.
