Russian strikes on Ukraine

Russian forces targeted port, residential, industrial, and energy infrastructure in the region. Warehouses storing fertilizers were damaged at the port, fires broke out, and four passenger cars and freight railcars caught fire.
Late on February 12, Russian troops again attacked Odesa with Shahed drones. Explosions caused major disruptions to electricity, water, and heating supplies in the city.
