Russian forces struck a storage facility holding Western-supplied military equipment at the port of Yuzhny, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Saturday.
The attack targets a key logistics node in southern Ukraine, adding to a pattern of strikes on port infrastructure in the region.
The development underscores the persistent threat to Black Sea shipping corridors.
Yuzhny, located in the Odesa region, has historically been a critical hub for grain exports and commercial traffic.
While the specific target was military property, the proximity to active trade routes heightens insurance premiums and operational risks for commercial vessels transiting the area.
This strike follows recent attacks on port infrastructure in Odessa and Chernomorsk, where Russian forces targeted facilities used for unloading military fuel and lubricants.
