Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,386

"Ukrainian sea drones hit and disabled a tanker involved in trading Russian oil as it sailed through Ukraine's exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea to the Russian port of Novorossiysk, a Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) official said. The Dashan tanker was sailing at maximum speed with its transponders off when powerful explosions hit its stern, inflicting critical damage on the vessel, the SBU official said."

"The attack marks the third sea drone strike in two weeks on vessels that are part of Russia's so-called shadow fleet unregulated ships which Kyiv says are helping Moscow export large quantities of oil and fund its war in Ukraine despite Western sanctions. Three people were killed and two wounded by Ukrainian shelling of a hospital in the Russia-controlled part of the Kherson region in Ukraine, a Russia-installed governor claimed on Telegram. All those killed and injured were reportedly employees of the medical facility."

"Ukrainian forces are fending off an unusually large Russian mechanised attack inside the strategic eastern city of Pokrovsk, Kyiv's military said, including armoured vehicles, cars, and motorcycles. Russian drones have hit the gas transport system in Ukraine's southern Odesa region, a senior Ukrainian official said, in an area which contains several pipelines carrying US liquefied natural gas to Ukraine from Greece. Russian air defences shot down two drones en route to Moscow, the city's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said."

A hospital in Russia-controlled Kherson was reportedly hit by shelling, killing three staff and wounding two. Ukrainian forces are repelling a large Russian mechanised attack in Pokrovsk. Russian drones struck gas transport infrastructure in Odesa region, two drones were shot down en route to Moscow, and Ukraine agreed post-war reconstruction and economic principles with US-linked figures.
