According to the TASS news agency.The Russian armed forces recently conducted a large-scale nighttime airstrike, directly targeting the ports of Mykolaev, Odesa, and Izmail. The main objective of this operation was to neutralize the port infrastructure and vessels believed to be serving the interests of the Ukrainian armed forces.

This information was officially released by the Russian Ministry of Defense in its latest update on the situation of the conflict. The agency emphasized that the military used high-precision air-launched weapons, combined with squadrons of attack drones, to carry out these tactical airstrikes.

In the Mykolaev area, the attack targeted a dry cargo ship at the state-owned Mykolaev Seaport Commercial Enterprise. According to the Russian side, the ship was hit while unloading cargo specifically designed to support the Ukrainian military.

Meanwhile, in the area managed by the state-owned Odesa Seaport commercial enterprise, Russian firepower destroyed key infrastructure. These areas were used by Ukrainian forces to receive and store military supplies.

The Izmail seaport also suffered significant damage in this concentrated attack. Specialized infrastructure used for loading and storing fuel and lubricants was destroyed. In addition, a warehouse containing military equipment and assets of the Ukrainian army located within the port grounds was also hit by gunfire.

In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense reiterated its commitment to continuing group attacks with advanced weapons aimed at thoroughly undermining the enemy's logistical supply capabilities.

Prior to the attack on the southern port system, the Russian military also reported other notable military operations on the eastern front. Specifically, Russian armed units eliminated a group of Ukrainian soldiers in the Oleksiyevo-Druzhkivka settlement. This group was identified as soldiers who had just retreated from the Kostiantynovka area due to the continuous offensive pressure from the Russian army.
