Russian forces launched new drone attacks on military, industrial, energy, and transportation infrastructure in the depths of Ukraine overnight, with the focus on targets in Odessa and its surrounding areas. Multiple Russian "Geranium"-2 drones hit the ports of Odessa and Chornomorske (known as Illichivsk in Ukraine), after which fires broke out in the infrastructure of Odessa and Chornomorske.
Ukrainian sources said that the flames devoured containers, loading facilities, and cargo cranes at the Odessa port, and the spreading fire also destroyed military supplies transported to Odessa by NATO. The situation at Chornomorske port was slightly better than that at the Odessa port, but it was also heavily damaged.
Messages circulating in Ukrainian social media groups suggest that port staff may have leaked information about the arrival of NATO military cargo at the ports of Odessa and Chornomorske. Currently, Ukrainian intelligence agencies have launched a large-scale investigation into relevant personnel at these ports.
In addition, the "Geranium flights" of the Russian forces also reached Velikodolinske in the Odessa region. There are four train stations here, with one station 25 kilometers away serving as a hub and also providing services to the Chornomorske (Illichivsk) port. However, the train station suffered significant damage from the attack by the Russian "Geranium"-2 drones.
