As a result of a missile strike on the port of Chornomorsk, a civilian vessel was damaged and one person was injured.
This was reported on Telegram by Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction and Minister for Communities and Territories Development, Oleksiy Kuleba.
“A ballistic missile hit the berth of Chornomorsk port, where a Maltese-flagged civilian vessel was docked. Unfortunately, one crew member was injured and is currently receiving necessary medical care,” the statement said.
According to Kuleba, the ship was preparing to transport container cargo. The strike damaged three containers and caused an oil spill. A boom barrier is being installed to contain the consequences. All relevant services are working on site.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine continues to ensure the operation of its ports and fulfill its international obligations despite the ongoing attacks by the Russian Federation.
