Ukraine Conducts Drone Strikes on Russia's Primorsk Port and Other Regions

Ukrainian forces launched drone strikes on Russia's Primorsk port, targeting oil tankers and military vessels, including a Karakurt-class missile ship, as part of ongoing efforts to limit Russia's war capabilities. The Primorsk port, a key oil export hub, has faced multiple attacks amid stalled U.S.-brokered peace talks. Russian officials reported downing over 60 drones and confirmed no major oil spills. Additional drone attacks affected other Russian regions, causing casualties and injuries, while Ukraine's military advanced in eastern Donetsk.
