On the night of August 17, the Russian Federation attacked the port infrastructure of the Odesa region. In the Izmail district, a civilian ship flying the flag of Togo was damaged as a result of the strike. Three crew members were injured, as well as an employee of the Sea Ports Administration of Ukraine – a 43-year-old resident of the village of Bagate, Izmail district. The man received a fragment of the head. He was hospitalized with brain damage in the intensive care unit of the Izmail city hospital.
