Russian drone strikes damage civilian ships in Mykolaiv port
Russian forces hit port infrastructure in Mykolaiv, damaging two civilian ships, while President Volodymyr Zelensky pressed international allies for tighter sanctions on Russian missile manufacturers.
Russian drone strikes targeted port infrastructure in Ukraine's Mykolaiv district twice on Monday, damaging two civilian vessels, according to regional military authorities. The strikes follow additional Russian attacks across the region, including a guided bomb strike in Zaporizhzhia that killed one person and wounded another.
Addressing Ukrainian diplomats, President Volodymyr Zelensky urged international partners to intensify sanction pressure against Russian companies producing ballistic missiles. Zelensky emphasized that Kiev aims to apply diplomatic, economic, and military pressure to compel Moscow into peace negotiations before winter. Meanwhile, Russian officials alleged that a Ukrainian drone strike hit a resort beach in Gelendzhik along the Black Sea, killing seven civilians. Ukrainian officials have not issued a comment regarding the allegation.
