In the Odessa district, a hostile drone attack on the morning of December 30 damaged port and industrial infrastructure, and one person was injured.
This was reported on Telegram by the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper.
“Despite active air defense efforts, industrial and port infrastructure in the Odessa district was damaged. A strike on an industrial facility damaged empty oil storage tanks. Unfortunately, one person was injured,” the report states.
Kiper also noted that a civilian vessel in the port area was damaged. No further information about casualties has been reported.
Emergency services are working on site, and law enforcement is documenting the consequences of these latest war crimes against the civilian population of Odessa.
According to Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister for Recovery and Minister of Communities and Territories Development, Oleksiy Kuleba, the attack damaged facilities at the ports of Pivdennyi and Chornomorsk. A civilian grain vessel flying the Panamanian flag, located in the port, was also affected.
“This is another deliberate attack by Russia on civilian port infrastructure. The enemy is trying to disrupt logistics and complicate shipping. Despite the attack, the seaports continue to operate in compliance with safety requirements,” the statement said.
