Russian strike targets Ukrainian port on Danube River

The port continues to operate, it said.

The mayor of the town of Izmail, Ukraine's biggest port on the Danube, which lies across the river from NATO member Romania, said the town had come under another "massive" Russian drone attack.

Local officials in the Izmail district said that close to 17,000 consumers were without power as a result of the attack, which also cut off water supply in the nearby town of Vylkove.

Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 153 drones at the country, of which 130 were downed or neutralised.
