As a result of the Russian attack in Odesa region, a drone was recorded hitting a civilian ship flying the Palauan flag, which was being loaded in the port of Chornomorsk.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development.

According to preliminary information, there were no injuries among the crew members. The attack damaged port and logistics infrastructure, warehouses, technical equipment, cargo storage tanks, administrative buildings, and freight transport.

During the regional attack on April 25, a civilian vessel flying the Panamanian flag was damaged in the port of Reni.

The vessel was leaving the port when it was attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles. A fire broke out on board, which the crew quickly extinguished on their own. The vessel remained seaworthy and is heading to its destination port.

Another vessel was damaged in the port itself. Meanwhile, the wreckage of a Russian drone was found in Romania near the border with Odesa region on the morning of April 25, damaging a power pole and an extension to a residential building. A Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft detected radar contact with a target 1.5 kilometers from Reni, over Ukrainian territory, and the pilots received permission to engage the drones.

On the night of April 25, Russian troops again attacked Odesa region with attack drones. As a result of the attacks, three private houses, an outbuilding and seven cars were damaged and destroyed. Port infrastructure facilities were also damaged. The fires have now been extinguished. At night, the enemy also attacked the infrastructure of Odesa, and a fire broke out, which rescuers quickly extinguished. This was reported by the head of the Odesa City Military Administration Serhiy Lysak. However, residential buildings in the regional center were not damaged and there were no reports of casualties.
