The Ukrainian military said it has launched "targeted attacks" on Zmiinyi Island, also known as Snake Island, where Russian forces and infrastructure are stationed.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for a "seventh package of European Union sanctions" as the bloc meets to make a final decision on formally granting Ukraine candidate status.
