- Separately, Russia-installed Crimea governor Sergei Aksyonov reported that a Ukrainian drone struck an apartment building in Kerch, killing two people, though he provided no further details about the attack.
- These incidents underscore escalating cross-border hostilities across the Black Sea region, with further details from Russian or Ukrainian authorities needed to verify the maritime strikes and port damage.
