Russian air defense systems have shot down 774 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones and 13 guided aerial bombs over the past 24 hours, the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Saturday.
The ministry said Russian forces had carried out another overnight round of strikes using air-launched precision-guided weapons and attack drones against Ukrainian military-related targets.
It said the strikes hit port infrastructure at the Port of Odesa used for unloading fuel and lubricants, as well as fuel storage facilities intended to support the Ukrainian armed forces.
The ministry added that a container ship unloading ammunition at the Port of Chornomorsk in Ukraine’s Odesa region was also struck. Russian forces also targeted a dry cargo vessel near Snake Island in the Black Sea that was transporting supplies for the Ukrainian military.
