Russia Reports New Strikes on Ukrainian Ports

Moscow continued its attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure and vessels supporting the Ukrainian military, the Russian ministry of defense said on Saturday.

According to the ministry, Russian forces used precision-guided air-launched weapons and attack drones. In the Black Sea port of Odesa, they struck military warehouses containing communications equipment and electronic warfare systems.

In the port of Mykolaiv, Russian forces reportedly struck a cargo ship carrying military equipment, as well as a warehouse containing weapons and military supplies. The ministry added that another ship carrying military supplies for the Ukrainian armed forces was also struck in the Black Sea.

Reuters was unable to independently verify the reports from either side of the conflict.
