MOSCOW, Oct 25 (Reuters) – The Russian Defence Ministry said on Sunday that its drones had struck a cargo vessel bound for the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk in an overnight attack and another cargo vessel en route to the port of Odesa during the day.
The ministry said the vessels were being used to supply the Ukrainian army.
Russian forces also hit a logistics center, a distribution center and a logistics terminal in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv overnight. The ministry said the facilities had been used for storage and distribution of dual-use cargo for the Ukrainian military.
Reuters could not independently verify the Defence Ministry’s information.
