The Russian Aerospace Forces continue to disrupt Ukraine's coastal supply lines.
Today, a dry cargo ship sank off the Odesa coast. According to Ukrainian sources, the vessel was Turkish-flagged and reportedly carrying agricultural products. It was hit simultaneously by three cruise missiles, causing it to list and sink. According to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russian forces conducted strikes today against three cargo ships and one port.
Ukrainian Black Sea ports were also attacked, with a military cargo container terminal hit. A total of three cargo vessels attempting to enter Ukrainian ports were targeted today. According to disclosures by the Russian Ministry of Defense, a bulk carrier south of Odesa was likely struck by a combination of a suicide drone and a sea-based missile; meanwhile, two other cargo ships were subjected to fire coverage near the Dnipro-Buh estuary as they attempted to reach Mykolaiv.
Russian forces continue targeting Ukraine’s port infrastructure and cargo vessels. Preliminary information indicates severe damage to Odesa, Chornomorsk, Mykolaiv, and Southern Port. The Ukrainian military is now attempting to use Izmail and Reni ports instead. However, these ports are beginning to "receive" missile strikes as well.
