Freighter Damaged in Russian Missile Attack on Odesa

“A cargo ship was damaged during Russian missile attacks on the Odesa region of southern Ukraine. Four members of the 17-person crew were injured, the region's military governor, Oleh Kiper, announced on Telegram. The ship was sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands. Earlier, "industrial infrastructure" had also been targeted; according to reports, an administrative building, a warehouse, and more than a dozen vehicles were damaged in the process.

  

According to the Ministry of Defense in Moscow, the Russian military attacked two ports in the Odesa region. An attack on the port of Pivdennyi reportedly targeted a freighter carrying supplies for the Ukrainian army. In the port of Odesa itself, fuel tanks were the target. Additionally, four cargo ships were reportedly attacked in the port of Mykolaiv in the neighboring region; there was no confirmation of this from the Ukrainian side.

 

For days, Ukraine has been carrying out drone attacks against ships calling at Russian-controlled ports in the Black Sea and the neighboring Sea of ​​Azov. In response, Russia has expanded its attacks on Ukrainian ports along the Black Sea coast.”
