“The ‘Sukhoy Port’ logistics center at the port of Odesa, intended for the storage and distribution of cargo for the benefit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has been destroyed,” the Russian military ministry said in a statement.

Moscow also reported a strike on a dry cargo ship in the Black Sea. It was stated that the vessel was located 141 kilometers southwest of Odesa and was carrying weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian army.

The name of the vessel, its flag, its owner and information about the crew were not disclosed. Russia’s Ministry of Defense also did not report any deaths or injuries in the alleged strike on the vessel.
