Russia Claims Strikes on Ukrainian Power Substations and Three Ships

Russia said its forces struck three cargo vessels carrying military goods for Ukraine and two power substations in overnight attacks, according to a Sunday statement from its Defence Ministry. The ministry claimed a container ship in Odesa port and another in Chornomorsk were hit, with a third dry cargo vessel struck southwest of Odesa, all allegedly transporting weapons or dual-use cargo. Reuters could not independently verify the claims, and Ukraine gave no immediate comment. Ukrainian energy firm DTEK reported that an attack on Dnipropetrovsk region facilities left over 600,000 people without power, saying "important energy facilities" were damaged in the overnight assault.
