Ports of Odesa and Chernomorsk Attacked as Russia Claims Military Targets

- The strikes followed Russia’s third major escalation within a week amid ongoing ceasefire talks and were justified as targeting military cargo unloading drones and artillery parts.
- The attacks caused at least one confirmed port worker death, eight injuries with four serious, damage to port facilities, and disruption to grain and raw material shipments restored to pre-war levels.
