The barrage began on Monday when a Russian strike hit a Togo-flagged cargo ship unloading mineral fertilizers in the Odesa region.
Governor Oleh Kiper said that five crew members had died in the attack, with 12 others injured.
A day later, Russian forces struck two merchant ships sailing through Ukraine’s Black Sea corridor under the flags of Tanzania and Liberia. The captain of the Tanzania-flagged vessel was killed, while three crew members were injured and more evacuated.
Hours later, a Russian drone strike hit a Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship in the Odesa region, killing two people after setting the vessel ablaze.
“The enemy continues to deliberately target civilian vessels in the waters of the Black Sea,” Kiper said on Tuesday, calling the attacks “a war crime against civilians, civilian shipping, and global food security.”
Elsewhere in Odesa, Russian missile and drone strikes damaged homes, industrial facilities and port infrastructure.

A missile strike on a residential area on Tuesday killed one woman and injured another, while separate attacks damaged vehicle repair workshops, fuel tankers, trucks and sunflower oil storage tanks.
Overnight attacks from Tuesday to Wednesday also struck the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions, killing at least three individuals and injuring dozens more, including an 11-year-old girl.
Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukraine’s Black Sea ports and commercial shipping since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, despite the reopening of a maritime export corridor that allowed Ukraine to resume grain exports.
Ukrainian officials say the attacks threaten global food security.
The strikes come as Ukraine intensifies attacks on Russia’s maritime logistics.
Kyiv says its drone campaign targets vessels supporting Russian oil exports, which help fund Moscow’s war on Ukraine, as well as military supply routes to occupied Crimea.
