Russia claims air strikes on Ukrainian ports, Ukraine reports hitting Russian large logistics hub

Russia said on Sunday that its forces continued striking Ukraine's port infrastructure and maritime vessels used for the interests of the Ukrainian military, and Ukraine reported on the same day of attacking on a Russian large logistics hub and Russian missile system, according to their latest updates on the conflict.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces launched air strikes on vessels transporting supplies for the Ukrainian forces located in the port of Odessa, and attacked the unmanned boat production workshop near the port, and the mooring area of Ukrainian patrol boats near the Port of Vylkove.

In the Black Sea waters east of Odessa, the Russian forces attacked a dry cargo ship transporting weapons from Western countries to Ukraine.

In addition, Russian forces carried out cluster strikes on military industrial enterprises in Kyiv, a refinery in Poltava Oblast and a metallurgical plant in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, using land-based and air-based high-precision weapons as well as long-range attack drones.

On the same day, Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported early that morning, Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on the logistics hub of Russia's large online retailer Wildberries in the Moscow region.

The logistics hub covers an area of 250,000 square meters and is the largest warehouse facility of Wildberries, said the report.

Seven of the 10 large warehouses of Wildberries have so far been shut down.

The Ukrainian Navy said on the same day that it had struck the Russian Bastion missile system and launch positions deployed in Crimea in the early hours of that day.

For a long time, the Russian military has frequently used the Bastion to launch Oniks supersonic missiles and Zircon hypersonic missiles to attack southern Ukraine and other regions, said the Ukrainian Navy.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday Iran reached the peace memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the United States with "dignity" and "power," while taking into consideration the principles outlined by former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

He made the remarks at a meeting attended by Education Minister Alireza Kazemi, where the president defended the MoU signed between Iran and the United States on June 18 to end the war in the region, according to a statement released by his office.

"We pursued the recent agreement with strength and did not surrender to our enemies," Pezeshkian said, adding that the MoU was drafted after careful deliberation and in-depth discussions with experts.

In remarks on Saturday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf described the peace MoU as proof of "Iran's glory and victory" and being in line with the consolidation of the country's victory in the field of diplomacy, according to the official news agency IRNA.

Under the MoU, Iran and the United States were scheduled to hold negotiations within a 60-day period ending on Monday to reach a final agreement. However, the fate of the talks remains uncertain following the escalation between the two countries in recent weeks.

On July 7 and 8, the U.S. military launched two consecutive military strikes against Iran, citing Iranian attacks on merchant ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, in response, launched missile and drone attacks on U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan.

At a NATO summit in Türkiye on July 8, U.S. President Donald Trump declared the MoU was "over." On the same day, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that repeated U.S. military strikes on Iran constituted a serious violation of the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding. Iran's parliament on Sunday passed an anti-infiltration bill, aiming to counter espionage activities by hostile intelligence agencies and foreign governments or institutions, according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency.
