EIGHT people were killed and 27 wounded in a Russian missile strike on Ukrainian port facilities.
Some of the injured were on a bus at the centre of the blitz in Odesa region.
Trucks caught fire and cars were damaged as infrastructure was hit in Black Sea port city Pivdenne.
Warmonger President Vladimir Putin’s officials did not immediately acknowledge Ukrainian reports of Friday’s deadly attack.
But they said unspecified transport and storage facilities used by Ukraine’s armed forces were hit the day before.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian drone strikes crippled a Russian military airport in Crimea, which Putin’s forces illegally annexed in 2014.
They also hit a Russian warship in the Caspian Sea and an oil and gas platform.
The Russian oil industry is under US sanctions.
And Kyiv targets oil depots with long-range strikes, saying they fund and directly fuels the invasion.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said the US had offered a potential new format for peace talks between his country and Putin, involving the US and possibly Europe.
Last week, Russia released an enslaught on Odesa in a revenge attack for drone strikes on oil tankers.
An aerial barrage lasting several hours left a million homes without power and water.
A total of 465 drones and 30 missiles were fired.
