Russia's Black Sea strikes cripple Ukraine's ports

Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine's Black Sea ports, with July seeing 57 strikes on civilian vessels and 67 on port infrastructure, according to Ukraine's port administration. The attacks have killed crew members, including nine on the Turkish-owned Golden Leo, and made the Black Sea potentially the world's most dangerous shipping zone. Port operations have been severely disrupted, with Odesa's main port largely idle and workers facing constant threats.
