- Russia's Defense Ministry reported strikes on Ukrainian military-linked facilities, including an unspecified logistics centre in Odesa and a drone storage warehouse in Novi Biliari in the Odesa region
- Russian forces also struck a cargo vessel bound for Odesa, extending the targeting from fixed infrastructure to commercial shipping approaching the port
Why it matters: The inclusion of a cargo vessel among the named targets marks a shift from purely infrastructure-focused strikes to direct hits on commercial shipping headed for Odesa, one of Ukraine's key Black Sea export hubs — raising the stakes for maritime trade and insurance in the corridor.
