  "account": "Russian forces launched an attack on a ship carrying military cargo near the Odesa port on Monday, according to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense cited by the Sputnik agency. The vessel, which was 40 kilometers south of the port, was carrying both military equipment and goods that could be used for dual purposes by Ukrainian forces.\n\nThe strike resulted in damage to a substation in the town of Kolodni in Ternopil region, a facility that provides power to military industrial sites. Additionally, Russian forces targeted a company called Kromberg & Schubert in the city of Lutsk, which specializes in repairing vehicles for the Ukrainian military.\n\nThe attacks did not stop there. Overnight, Russian armed forces continued their drone strikes, focusing on logistics centers, transportation and port infrastructure in Ukraine.
