The Ukrainian military said it struck the port of Olya in Russia's Astrakhan region on Thursday, hitting a ship with drone parts and ammunition from Iran.

Russia uses the port as an important logistics hub for the supply of military goods from Iran, the Ukrainian military said in a statement on Friday.
