Russian troops attacked Ukrainian ports again with attack drones. Port infrastructure facilities in the Odesa region came under fire.

As a result of the drone attack, the port of Izmail recorded damage to berths and port equipment. According to preliminary reports, there were no fatalities or injuries.

The port of Odesa was also damaged: debris from downed enemy drones and a blast wave damaged port equipment, vehicles, and some infrastructure elements. The extent of the destruction and damage is currently being determined.

According to the press service, all relevant services, including rescuers, law enforcement and utility units, are working on the ground. From the first minutes after the strike, they have been involved in eliminating the consequences of the attack and restoring normal port operations. Special thanks were expressed to the port industry and emergency services, who promptly joined the work despite the risk of repeated shelling.

Odesa celebrated New Year's Eve to the sound of explosions and air raid sirens, not fireworks. Enemy drones attacked energy infrastructure and residential areas of the city.

Some of the critical businesses that support the city's vital functions were temporarily left without electricity.
