Overnight military operations have targeted port cities in both Russia and Ukraine, resulting in three confirmed deaths. In the Russian port city of Novorossiysk, local authorities described the situation as a 'horrific night' for residents. According to the local mayor, the strikes caused damage to dozens of buildings and resulted in the death of a child.

While the report confirms the casualties and property damage in Novorossiysk, details regarding the specific military assets targeted or the origin of the munitions remain limited. The situation highlights the ongoing escalation of hostilities affecting civilian areas near major maritime hubs. Because the available information is currently restricted to local official statements, there is a lack of independent verification regarding the full scope of the damage or the specific tactical objectives of the strikes. The report notes that both Russian and Ukrainian port cities were affected, though it does not provide a breakdown of the casualties specifically attributed to each side beyond the mention of the child in Novorossiysk.
