Russia's Ministry of Defense said Tuesday that Russian forces are continuing to strike ports, sea vessels and port infrastructure in Ukraine. The ministry said the targeted facilities are being used in support of Ukrainian military needs.

According to the brief statement, maritime locations and related infrastructure remain part of Russia's ongoing military focus in the conflict. Ports and vessels can be important for transport, logistics and other wartime support functions.

The ministry's update did not include detailed information about specific locations, the scale of the reported attacks or the extent of any damage. The short report also did not provide independent evidence to confirm the claims.

The announcement highlights that Ukraine's port areas and maritime assets remain a stated target in the war. As with many battlefield statements released during active fighting, outside verification of reported strikes can be difficult.
