Story summary

On October 12, Russia's Defence Ministry claimed that it carried out drone strikes on vessels carrying military cargo to Ukraine’s ports. The ministry stated that three cargo ships were targeted; two heading for Odesa and one towards Mykolaiv. Additionally, a logistics center in the Mykolaiv region was reportedly hit by Russian drones.

The next day, Heorhii Reshetilov, Acting Regional Governor of Mykolaiv, reported via Telegram that Russian drones had damaged a cargo terminal in his city during overnight attacks on October 13. Reuters noted it could not independently verify Russia's claims about the ship strikes.

These actions reflect ongoing military operations and strategic efforts by both sides to disrupt each other’s supply lines amid the prolonged conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
