Russians attacked the port of Chornomorsk: an oil tank was damaged

On the evening of December 30, Russian troops struck the port infrastructure of Chornomorsk. As a result of the shelling, a vegetable oil tank caught fire.

This was reported by the USPA press service.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, and since the evening of December 30, all relevant services have been working at the site – work is ongoing to eliminate the fire and the consequences of the shelling.

“To prevent possible pollution of the water area, boom barriers have been installed at certain berths. Specialized vessels are ready to collect pollutants in case they enter the port area,” the department noted.

The USPA added that this attack was another on the port infrastructure of Ukraine, as the enemy is purposefully trying to destroy the logistical capabilities and export potential of the state.

“At the same time, despite the constant threat and shelling, the ports continue to operate – thanks to the professional and coordinated actions of the port workers and all the services involved,” the department summarized.

Earlier, the Russian Federation attacked the ports of Pivdenny and Chornomorsk: a ship and an oil tank were damaged.
