Russia also attacked Kyiv overnight, ⁠causing fires but no casualties, ⁠emergency services said in a Telegram post.

⁠The ⁠Russian defence ministry said its ⁠forces had struck a Ukrainian cargo vessel carrying ‌military equipment in the Black Sea en route to the port ⁠of Odesa, as ⁠well as a warehouse ⁠in Kyiv, ⁠belonging allegedly to a ⁠company manufacturing drones, Russian news agencies ‌reported.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported a Russian drone strike on a 16-storey ⁠building early on Wednesday, saying emergency responders were heading ⁠to the site.

Russian ⁠air strikes also damaged port, transport ⁠and civilian infrastructure in ‌the Mykolaiv region, in an attack that killed one ⁠and left several people injured, ⁠a local ⁠official ⁠said on Telegram.

Moscow resumed ⁠its near-constant air attacks on Kyiv on Tuesday after a brief halt during the visit of ‌ US peace negotiators . Officials said five people were killed in the capital.

Meanwhile, Russian forces shot down 596 Ukrainian drones during the night, the defence ministry said Wednesday.

The attacks left four dead in Novorossiysk in the southern Krasnodar region, governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Telegram.

Mayor Andrei Kravchenko said drone debris fell on the premises of a ⁠number of businesses and close to an ⁠inhabited building in Novorossiysk late on Tuesday.

Ukrainian authorities confirmed attacks in the area, saying that ⁠military vessels at a naval ⁠base in Novorossiysk were hit overnight, the ‌commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, said.

Brovdi ⁠said missile carriers ⁠were among the vessels “lost” at ⁠the base, ⁠but did ⁠not say how many vessels had ‌been struck.

Novorossiysk, a ⁠frequent target of Ukrainian drone strikes, is a major outlet for ‌Russian oil, oil products and grain exports, among ‌other ‌commodities.
