Russian military targets Ukrainian ports and Kyiv industrial sites
The Russian military has launched a series of coordinated strikes targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure, ports, and civilian areas. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, precision weapons and drones were used to attack port facilities in Odessa and Mykolaiv. In the Black Sea, two cargo ships transporting military supplies were reportedly hit by attack drones.
In Kyiv, Russian forces targeted the Kiev-111 (Fire Point) industrial company, which produces components for missiles, and the Kiev-3 (Grandterminal) fuel depot. These strikes are described by Russian officials as retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on Russian border regions.
In the Russian border city of Belgorod, a massive Ukrainian drone attack targeted residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Local officials reported that Russian air defenses neutralized 154 drones during the incident, which followed previous strikes in the province that resulted in casualties.
