Odessa: The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its forces carried out strikes on facilities in ports in the Odessa region of southern Ukraine, using long-range precision weapons and drones. The ministry’s statement highlighted that the strikes specifically targeted the ports of Odessa and Chornomorsk within the same region.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Russian Defense Ministry detailed that the attacks damaged facilities purportedly used for unloading and storing military cargo, fuel, and lubricants for the Ukrainian armed forces. Additionally, the strikes aimed at workshops involved in the production and assembly of drones.

These developments are part of the ongoing military escalation, with Russia persistently targeting Ukrainian sites and facilities, including critical ports. The situation continues to unfold amid the lack of any signs pointing towards an imminent political resolution between the conflicting parties.
