Russian strike damages Ukraine Danube port as Moscow intercepts drones
"A Russian attack has damaged port infrastructure in Ukraine's Danube River port city of Izmail, a vital grain-export hub, while Russian authorities said they had downed four Ukrainian drones headed towards Moscow, as peace efforts remain stalled and both sides continue reciprocal attacks. Izmail, in the Odesa region, is a frequently targeted logistical centre and was hit in the early hours of Tuesday. It is Ukraine's largest port on the Danube."
"According to the Odesa Regional State Administration, Ukrainian air defence weapons destroyed almost all the Russian UAVs over open territory outside the populated areas of the Izmail district, limiting risks to civilians. The attack lasted from about 1am to 3am (22:00 to 00:00 GMT), with firefighters battling a blaze in a building with blown-out windows. This followed another Russian attack on port infrastructure in Izmail on the night of May 2."
"In Russia, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram that four drones heading for the capital had been downed and emergency services deployed. This follows a heavy Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow over the weekend, after which Russia struck Odesa and Dnipro, damaging residential buildings and injuring dozens. In the Russian Kursk region bordering Ukraine, a woman was killed and two people were wounded in a Ukrainian attack on Monday evening, the Kursk operational headquarters said on Telegram."
"Russia's southern Rostov region and Yaroslavl, northeast of Moscow, which hosts oil refining infrastructure, also reported drone attacks. Yaroslavl Governor Mikhail Yevrayev warned drivers heading towards Moscow of drone threats. The fighting comes despite a US-brokered three-day ceasefire agreed by Russia and Ukraine earlier this"
