Russian forces attacked a port in the Odesa region with drones, damaging an empty oil storage tank.

This was reported on Telegram by Head of the Regional Military Administration, Oleh Kiper, according to Ukrinform.

“Today, the enemy once again cynically attacked the port infrastructure of the Odesa region with strike drones,” Kiper said.

He noted that explosions were recorded on the territory of the seaport in the Odesa district. An empty oil storage tank was damaged.

There were no fires, casualties, or injuries, Kiper emphasized.

“These attacks once again confirm that the enemy is deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and objects with no military significance, causing harm to peaceful people and putting them at risk,” the head of the administration said.
