Russia strikes Ukrainian logistics hubs and Black Sea vessel
Russian forces launched a series of coordinated strikes targeting Ukrainian military logistics, energy, and transport infrastructure. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the operations included strikes on three military logistics hubs in the Kharkiv region used for storing and redistributing supplies. Additionally, a bulk freighter carrying military supplies to the port of Odesa was struck in the Black Sea.
In Ukraine, the retail chain Epicentr reported the total destruction of its distribution network following strikes on hypermarkets in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, and Poltava. In Kharkiv, a shopping center was hit, resulting in injuries to civilians and emergency responders. Other reported impacts include damage to electrical substations in Kharkiv and Khmelnytskyi, as well as a warehouse in Lozova.
On the retaliatory front, Ukrainian drones struck the AVISMA chemical and metallurgical plant in Berezniki, Russia. The facility is a critical node in the global supply chain, producing approximately 96% of Russia’s titanium sponge. Local authorities in Perm Krai reported that while air defenses downed several drones, five workers were injured during the incident.
