Russian strikes target Ukrainian military-linked sites and vessels

Russian forces conducted a series of strikes across Ukraine overnight and Thursday, targeting facilities and vessels Moscow claims were linked to the Ukrainian military, according to Russia's Defence Ministry. The ministry said overnight strikes hit Kyiv-based drone production facilities, two telecommunications centres serving the military, logistics hubs at Odesa port, and an oil tanker bound for Chornomorsk. Additional strikes later targeted a logistics centre in Odesa, a drone warehouse in Novi Biliari, and a cargo vessel bound for Odesa. Reuters could not independently verify the claims. The report provides no information on casualties, damage, or any Ukrainian response to the alleged attacks.
