What we can confirm

Multiple reputable outlets report that a Russian overnight missile and drone barrage on Kyiv killed around nine people, and the same news cycle included Ukrainian forces sinking (or severely damaging and effectively sinking) a sanctioned Russian container ship in the Black Sea with a drone strike, as stated by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials; reports clearly link these as concurrent developments in the same set of attacks, so the combined claim is well supported.
