Russia says it struck two Ukrainian cargo vessels in the Black Sea

Russian strikes hit port and fuel infrastructure in Odesa and a power substation in Kharkiv, officials said, as fires were extinguished.

  • The Russian Defence Ministry reported that its forces struck two dry cargo vessels carrying military equipment and supplies in the Black Sea near the port of Odesa and Chornomorsk.
  • In addition to targeting maritime transport, Russian strikes hit fuel storage facilities at Chornomorsk intended to supply Ukrainian armed forces, alongside key logistics and infrastructure centers.
  • Russian defense officials stated that the maritime attacks formed part of a broader wave of strikes targeting transport corridors, including a key bridge across the Dnipro River in Kyiv and an electrical substation in the Kharkiv region.
  • Moscow pledged to step up strikes across Ukrainian supply infrastructure after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed that Kyiv would intensify attacks against Russian oil refineries and strategic assets.
  • Russian air defense forces also claimed to have intercepted and destroyed over 550 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions, as well as over the Azov and Black seas.
