Ukraine war live updates: Ukraine claims Black Sea Fleet commander, officers died in Crimea strike; Poland tries to ease tensions with Kyiv

Ukraine's important port city of Odesa suffered what officials called "significant damage" in a large-scale Russian attack overnight.

 

Ukraine's southern defense forces said 19 Shahed-136/131 type attacking drones, 12 Kalibr missiles and 2 Onyx supersonic missiles were used in the attack on Odesa. It said its air defense forces had shot down 19 drones and 11 Kalibr missiles but port infrastructure was hit and granaries destroyed.

 

Ukraine later said it believed the strikes on Odesa were in revenge for Ukraine's "successful hit" on the Russian navy's headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea, last Friday.

Meanwhile, Russia said it had destroyed Ukrainian drones targeting two Russian regions and occupied Crimea overnight.

 

In other news, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address on Sunday that the U.S. had agreed to jointly produce weapons and defense systems with Kyiv.
