Panama-flagged ships hit as Russia intensifies Odessa port attacks

Russian troops struck the Black Sea ports of Pivdennyi and Chornomorsk and oil storage tanks were also hit, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba said.

"This is yet another targeted attack by Russia on civilian port infrastructure. The enemy is trying to disrupt logistics and complicate shipping," he added. Despite the attacks, both ports continued to operate, he said.
