Russia says it struck cargo ship carrying military supplies near Chernomorsk

Russia’s Defense Ministry says its forces struck a cargo ship carrying military supplies near the port of Chernomorsk in Ukraine’s Odesa Region.

The ministry said the ship was involved in delivering supplies for Ukraine’s armed forces, but the accounts differ on whether it was hit at sea or in the port.

Russia also said it hit port infrastructure used to handle military cargo.

Both accounts mention two locomotives said to be carrying supplies for Ukraine’s military, but place them in different regions: one says near Serbka in Odesa Region, while the other says near Matveevka in Zaporizhzhia Region.

The claimed strikes targeted transport routes for military supplies, including shipping and rail links.

The reports give no independent confirmation or next steps.
