According to the governor of Ukraine’s Odesa region, a Russian drone attack on the Danube River port of Izmail caused severe infrastructural damage.
Russia has launched a round of drone attacks on one of Ukraine’s most important grain exporting ports, just hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan meet.
Early Monday (04 September), the Ukrainian Air Force encouraged residents of Izmail port, one of the country’s two major grain-exporting facilities on the Danube River in the Odesa area, to seek refuge.
Russia claims to have destroyed four Ukrainian military ships transporting troops in the Black Sea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appoints Oleksii Reznikov as Defence Minister.
