Russian forces launched an Iskander ballistic missile strike on the port of Odesa on Thursday afternoon, the Odesa regional military administration reported.
According to Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Kuleba, the missile struck one of the port’s piers while metal was being unloaded from a foreign cargo ship flying the flag of São Tomé and Príncipe.
The attack reportedly killed two people — a dockworker and a truck driver — and injured six others, including port workers and two Syrian nationals from the ship’s crew.
Port infrastructure was also damaged in the strike, including gantry cranes, equipment, and warehouses.
“Russia has been attacking our ports for four years in a row. They’re targeting the infrastructure that connects Ukraine to the world, the people who keep these critical facilities running, and civilians. This strike is yet another example of Russia’s deliberate effort to destroy our transport hubs, cripple our exports, and take innocent lives,” Kuleba said.
