Russia Attacks Two Ukrainian Ports
Russia attacked two important ports in Ukraine called Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi.
These ports are very important for Ukraine to send goods to other countries.
One person died and eight people got hurt in the attack.
Russia has been attacking these ports a lot, 96 times in 2025, which is almost three times more than in 2024.
The attacks damaged some buildings and tanks that hold vegetable oil.
Ukraine says Russia is doing this because Ukraine has been trying to stop Russia from sending oil to other countries, which helps pay for the war.
Even though there was damage, the ports are still working.
Russia attacked two Ukrainian ports, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi, in the Odesa region on Wednesday.
The attack resulted in one death and eight injuries.
Russia has attacked the Odesa region ports 96 times in 2025, nearly triple the number in 2024.
The attacks damaged port facilities, administrative buildings, and vegetable oil tanks.
Ukraine claims Russia escalated attacks in retaliation for Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil tankers.
