Russia claims drone strike on cargo ship bound for Ukraine's Chornomorsk

Russia's Defense Ministry claims its drones struck a cargo ship en route to the Ukrainian port of Chornomorsk, alleging it was supplying the Ukrainian military. The ministry also reported strikes on logistics facilities in Kharkiv. The claim is unverified; Reuters notes it cannot confirm the attack, and the extent of damage or casualties remains unclear. This continues Russia's pattern of targeting Ukrainian port infrastructure and logistics, but the specific targeting of a civilian cargo ship, if confirmed, marks an escalation in the maritime dimension of the conflict.
