In a series of overnight strikes, Russian forces targeted Ukraine's vital port infrastructure in the Izmail district of Odesa, according to local authorities. The attack, described as targeting military assets, resulted in fires that have since been extinguished.
Russia's Defence Ministry claimed the strikes hit military cargo unloading berths and facilities housing Western military equipment. However, these assertions remain unverified by independent sources.
Additionally, a separate strike in Odesa reportedly damaged a civilian Togo-flagged vessel and resulted in injuries to four individuals.
