Ukraine Recap: Russian Focuses Attacks on Odesa Port Targets
This article is for subscribers only.
Russia struck multiple targets in Ukraine’s Odesa region with missiles, damaging port facilities and grain stockpiles in Chornomorsk and injuring at least four people in a strike on residential buildings, the region’s governor said. The supersonic Oniks anti-ship missiles were fired from Crimea, Ukraine’s military said.
The strikes were just the latest on shipping infrastructure at Black Sea ports or upriver, or along the Danube. Kyiv has increasingly defied Moscow in recent weeks by shipping grain from Black Sea ports in a corridor created after the collapse of the safe-transit deal two months ago. Kremlin forces also launched drone attacks overnight on several Ukrainian cities.
