Russia Strikes Odesa Twice in 24 Hours, Hitting Port and Power Infrastructure

The pattern points to a strategy to cripple energy networks to disrupt Black Sea logistics.

Overview

  • Regional authorities said a second strike late Monday damaged port facilities and a ship in Odesa with no casualties reported.
  • An overnight barrage on Dec. 22 hit three energy facilities, cutting electricity to more than 120,000 people as air-raid alerts slowed repair work.
  • DTEK reported two of its sites were damaged and said a separate company’s facility was destroyed during the latest attacks.
  • Minister Oleksii Kuleba said a fire at the port of Pivdennyi destroyed about 30 containers holding flour and vegetable oil.
  • Sustained strikes on regional bridges, including over 10 hits on the Mayaky crossing last week, disrupted road links as rail service to Chisinau resumed, temporary crossings and truck convoys were organized, and residents reported daily hardships with at least one person wounded.
