Russian drone attacks on port infrastructure in Ukraine’s southern Mykolaiv region early on Monday and on Sunday killed one person and damaged three civilian vessels, a local official said.
Acting Regional Governor Heorhii Reshetilov said on the Telegram messaging app that a 48-year-old man had been killed during a Monday morning attack on port infrastructure.
Ukraine’s seaports authority said in a later statement that the vessels had been blockaded in the ports since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and have not been carrying out commercial voyages.
The Russian Defence Ministry said on Monday Moscow had struck two vessels carrying military cargoes in the port city of Mykolaiv.
In recent weeks, Russia has pummelled port infrastructure in southern Ukraine, including seaports in the Odesa region, with missiles and drones.
