Kyiv — Parts of Ukraine's Black Sea port cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv were engulfed in flames again in the early hours of Thursday after another night of Russian bombardment. Ukrainian military officials said the country's air defenses shot down five cruise missiles and 13 attack drones, but from the damage in the vital port cities, it was clear they hadn't stopped all of Russia's rockets.
More than 20 civilians were wounded in the latest wave of attacks, including five children, according to Ukrainian emergency services. It was the third straight night that Russia had taken aim at the ports, right on the heels of Moscow pulling out of a deal that had allowed Ukraine's cargo ships safe passage through Russia's Black Sea blockade.
Moscow has now issued a stark new warning: That it will consider any ship sailing through those waters a potential military target.
