New Strikes on Odesa Ports: Consequences and Responses

The Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine, Oleksii Kuiba, reported a new enemy attack.

Russia has struck two ports in the Odesa region.

Sadly, one person has lost their life. We extend our condolences to the family and loved ones. At least five individuals have been injured — they are receiving all necessary medical assistance.

The attack damaged port facilities, administrative buildings, and containers filled with oil.

All services are operating at the scene, adhering to safety requirements, and efforts to mitigate the aftermath are ongoing. The ports continue to operate.

This is yet another strike by a terrorist state on the port infrastructure that is crucial for ensuring global food security. Russia is deliberately attempting to undermine the economy and destroy maritime logistics.

As of now, it has been reported that the number of injured due to the massive attack on Odesa's ports has increased to eight people. One person has died.
