Russia's defense ministry confirmed on Thursday that it struck military and industrial facilities in Kyiv, along with infrastructure at the ports of Odesa and Pivdennyi and a maritime vessel. The attacks targeted sites involved in drone production and storage, as well as port facilities used for military cargo and fuel supplies. This escalation comes as both Moscow and Kyiv intensify assaults on each other's economic and energy infrastructure, with Ukraine recently hitting Russian oil tankers and energy sites.
