Russia's Defense Ministry said Friday that Russian forces are continuing strikes on Ukrainian ports and on vessels that, according to Moscow, are operating in support of Ukraine's military.
The statement links the reported attacks to maritime infrastructure and shipping activity tied to the wider conflict. No additional operational details were provided in the brief account, and the ministry's claim was presented as part of its regular updates on the war.
The announcement comes against the backdrop of Russia's military campaign in Ukraine, which began in February 2022. Since then, ports and transport routes have remained strategically important because of their role in military logistics and broader trade flows.
With both sides treating infrastructure as a key element of the conflict, developments involving ports and vessels continue to draw close attention. The latest statement underscores that maritime targets remain part of Russia's stated focus in the ongoing war.
