Ukraine
Ukrainian forces shot down 32 out of 44 Shahed kamikaze drones launched by Russia overnight mainly against ports in Odesa Oblast, the Air Force reported on 13.
Russia launched its drones
from three directions – Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Krasnodar Krai, Chauda in Crimea,
and Kursk, against both Odesa Oblast and Sumy Oblast.
While 32 out of 44 drones have
been downed, the strike against the Danube River ports damaged civilian
infrastructure and started a fire at a truck parking lot, injuring seven
people, the Southern Operational Command reported.
The fire has been extinguished
and the injured victims have been provided with medical assistance. According
to Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper, at
least three of them are in serious condition.
Russia escalated its strikes against
southern Ukraine following Moscow's unilateral termination of
the grain deal, targeting mainly ports, grain stockpiles, and agricultural
infrastructure.
The Sumy Oblast Military
Administration reported earlier
this morning that three Shaheds have been destroyed over its territory.
