Russian forces targeted two cargo ships loaded with shipments for the Ukrainian armed forces during the night, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The Russian defense statement said: "In the port of Chornomorsk, a cargo ship carrying military equipment and dual-use shipments intended for the Ukrainian armed forces was targeted... In addition, another cargo ship was targeted while sailing, which was transporting military shipments to the port of Odessa."

Russian forces also targeted the infrastructure of the "Donaisudservice" shipbuilding and repair plant in the port of Ismail in the Odessa region, the ministry announced.

The Russian defense statement said: "In the port of Ismail, the infrastructure of the 'Donaisudservice' facility, a large shipbuilding and repair institution responsible for rehabilitating and modernizing marine vessels, maintaining and re-equipping patrol boats, was targeted, as well as a permanent deployment site for a unit of the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service within the facility's premises."

Russian forces launched a strike overnight on the "Novaya Potchta" logistics center in Odessa, designated for storing military-related shipments.

Additionally, Russian forces targeted fuel infrastructure facilities in Kyiv during nighttime strikes, which are used to support the Ukrainian armed forces, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

This comes as Ihor Terekhov, the mayor of Kharkiv, stated on the Telegram app early Monday that a guided Russian air bomb hit a residential building in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city located in the northeast of the country, resulting in 22 injuries, including children.

In the capital Kyiv, city authorities reported on Telegram that a Russian drone struck a fuel station, without providing further details.
