Russia's Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces carried out strikes on several vessels in Ukrainian ports and in the Black Sea. The ministry also said multiple fuel tanks at the port of Odessa were hit.
The statement, as described in the report, framed the attacks as part of Russia's ongoing military operations involving Ukraine's coastal and port infrastructure. Odessa remains one of Ukraine's most important port cities, making any reported strike there significant for transport and logistics.
Beyond the claim that fuel storage facilities in Odessa were struck, the report also said vessels in Ukrainian ports and in the Black Sea were targeted. The available details were limited, and the report did not provide a fuller account of the extent of damage.
The development highlights the continued focus on maritime areas and port assets in the wider Russia-Ukraine conflict, particularly around the Black Sea and key Ukrainian shipping hubs.
