A new wave of strikes has targeted Ukrainian shipping hubs, railway infrastructure, and power substations, according to Moscow’s Defense Ministry. The ministry stated that Russian forces have struck facilities critical for Ukraine’s military operations, including logistics centers used to distribute military cargo and power installations supporting port activities.
In a Sunday statement, the ministry reported that high-precision weapons and drones were deployed in a coordinated strike against “logistics centers through which military cargo is supplied and distributed.” Among the targets was a Nova Poshta logistics center in Odessa Region designated for military use and two power substations in Odessa and Nikolaev regions that supported local port operations.
The ministry also noted that railway facilities in western Ukraine were attacked, with these routes being used to transport military supplies from European countries. Ukrainian officials claimed the overnight assault involved more than 450 drones across the country.
Odessa Region Governor Oleg Kiper confirmed widespread damage, including warehouses, residential buildings, and private homes, with fires reported at multiple locations. Preliminary reports indicated no casualties.
Social media footage captured a massive fire at the Nova Poshta warehouse in the region. In Ivano-Frankivsk Region, western Ukraine, Governor Svetlana Onischuk reported that an industrial facility and apartment building were damaged by drone strikes. Separately, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service confirmed an attack on a logistics warehouse in the Borispol district near Kyiv.
The recent barrage follows Ukraine’s escalation of long-range drone strikes into Russian territory targeting critical infrastructure, oil refineries, and civilian facilities including e-retail warehouses. Moscow has retaliated by striking Ukraine’s defense industry and military-related sites, asserting that it never targets civilians.
