A civilian vessel flying the Lebanese flag has been damaged during a Russian strike on the port of Odesa.

“Fortunately, there were no casualties,” Kuleba wrote on Telegram.

Ukraine’s Sea Ports Authority also reported damage at the port of Reni, where administrative buildings and port infrastructure were hit. Emergency and port services have been fully mobilized to deal with the aftermath of the strikes.

Authorities said response and recovery efforts are ongoing as port operations continue under heightened security conditions.
