Eight people were killed and 27 injured in a Russian missile strike on port infrastructure in southern Ukraine’s Odesa late Friday, Ukraine’s Emergency Service reported Saturday.
Some of the wounded were on a bus near the strike’s epicenter. Trucks and cars in the parking area were also damaged, and fires broke out, according to a Telegram post by the service. Odesa regional head Oleh Kiper confirmed the attack involved ballistic missiles.
In a separate development, Ukraine said its forces targeted a Russian warship and other facilities using drones. The warship “Okhotnik” was patrolling near an oil and gas platform in the Caspian Sea, while a drilling platform at the Filanovsky oil and gas field operated by Russian company Lukoil was also struck. Ukrainian drones reportedly damaged a radar system in Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
