Fires broke out at several sites, particularly in food product storage containers.

Early reports indicate that there were no casualties.

Firefighters extinguished the fires and dealt with their aftermath.

"The enemy continues to strike maritime logistics. Since the start of the full-scale war, 694 port infrastructure facilities have been damaged or destroyed, along with more than 150 civilian vessels," Kuleba said.

Despite this, the Ukrainian maritime corridor remains operational, the minister noted. More than 176 million tonnes of cargo have been handled, including over 150 million tonnes of grain.

Background: On the night of 25-26 February, Russia attacked railway infrastructure facilities in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk oblasts. The strike also hit the territory of a children's railway facility in Kharkiv Oblast.
