"Escalating Tensions: Russian Missiles Strike Ukrainian Aeronautics Firm Amidst Ship Explosions"

A Russian missile strike targeted Ukrainian aerospace firm Motor Sich in western Ukraine, while two Russian ships were damaged in apparent drone attacks in the Kerch Strait. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed the missile strike, stating that Motor Sich was hit with hypersonic ballistic missiles and projectiles. The attack comes after the nationalization of Motor Sich's assets to ensure military supplies amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. In a separate incident, a Russian oil tanker became the second vessel damaged in two days in the Kerch Strait, with Ukraine claiming responsibility for the attack. The Ukrainian agency for navigation and hydrographic services also warned that six Russian Black Sea ports were in a "war risk area."
