Ukraine war briefing: Russian forces attack Odesa twice in one day
"Russian forces struck Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa late on Monday and damaged port facilities and a ship, the regional governor said, in the second attack on the region in less than 24 hours. Oleh Kiper said on Telegram that emergency crews were tackling the aftermath of the latest attack and that no casualties had been reported but provided no further details."
"An earlier overnight attack hit port and energy infrastructure in the Odesa region, causing a fire at a major port and disrupting electricity supplies to tens of thousands of people. Russia is attempting to disrupt maritime logistics by launching systematic attacks on port and energy infrastructure, deputy prime minister Oleksiy Kuleba said on Telegram. A Russian general was killed after an explosive device detonated beneath his car in what Moscow described as a likely assassination carried out by Ukrainian intelligence services, reports Pjotr Sauer."
"Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov, head of the operational training directorate of the Russian armed forces' general staff, died of his injuries, a spokesperson for Russia's investigative committee said. Investigators are pursuing numerous lines of inquiry regarding the murder. Russian Telegram channels with links to the security services reported that Sarvarov's car exploded while driving along a Moscow street about 7am on Monday. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the attack."
