On the morning of May 5, Russian forces attacked Odesa port in Ukraine with drones, damaging a foreign civilian vessel, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority reports.
As noted, in the morning, the enemy struck the port of Greater Odesa. As a result of the attack, a civilian vessel under the flag of the Cook Islands was damaged.
The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority clarified that the crew of the vessel was not injured.
“Another strike is aimed at civilian shipping. The port is operating, taking into account security risks, and specialized services are eliminating the consequences,” the administration said in a statement.
Russian forces systematically attack ports of the Odesa region with drones and missiles.
