Russia says it hit a cargo vessel and Ukrainian logistic hubs overnight

Russian officials said the overnight strikes hit a vessel and logistics hubs used to supply Ukrainian forces.

  • The Russian Defence Ministry claimed on Sunday that its drones struck a cargo vessel bound for Chornomorsk and logistics facilities in Kharkiv, alleging these sites supplied the Ukrainian military; Reuters could not independently verify the claims.
  • Russian forces targeted Epicentr retail network centers across Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Vinnytsia, and Poltava in under 24 hours, company officials reported, as the retail chain serves as a primary hub for municipal repair materials and building supplies.
  • In Poltava, a drone struck an Epicentr hypermarket, igniting a fire and injuring a 52-year-old woman, while Kharkiv saw commercial facilities hit in a double-tap attack that also targeted first responders during secondary strikes.
  • Overnight bombardments damaged critical infrastructure across nine regions, including electrical substations, thermal power plants, and grain storage facilities, disrupting municipal utility networks supporting the Ukrainian population.
  • Russia's pattern of designating dual-use facilities as military targets complicates recovery efforts, as the kinetic campaign against commercial retail hubs and logistics networks continues to disrupt essential services across Ukraine.
