The assault on Odesa specifically crippled fuel loading and storage facilities identified as critical to ongoing military operations. Simultaneously, the ministry reported successful strikes on storage tanks situated at the Chornomorsk port. In Mykolaiv, a cargo vessel designated for the transport of military supplies was hit, further tightening the pressure on Ukraine's coastal logistics network.
