"Russia Retaliates: Odesa Port Under Attack in Response to Crimea Bridge Strike"
Ukraine claims to have shot down Russian drones and cruise missiles targeting the port of Odesa, in what Russia called "retribution" for an attack on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea. The Russian Defense Ministry said it carried out a "strike of retribution" on Ukrainian military facilities near Odesa and Mykolaiv, destroying facilities involved in "terror attacks" against Russia. The conflicting claims come as tensions escalate between the two countries, with Ukraine vowing to reclaim Crimea from Russian control. The attack on Odesa also coincided with Russia breaking off a grain shipping deal with Ukraine, leading to condemnation from the United Nations and Ukraine's Western allies.
