The military institution announced in a release published on its official Telegram channel, “This Tuesday, Russian forces launched a massive attack using high-precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), striking a logistics center in the Kharkiv region.”

The release noted that Russian forces also struck cargo vessels used by the Army of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and added that they targeted Ukrainian military facilities where cruise missiles and long- and medium-range drones were being produced and stored.

Russia has been conducting a special military operation since February 24, 2022, to halt Ukrainian shelling of civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk, two territories that gained independence from Ukraine in 2014 and joined Russia in September 2022 after holding referendums.
