Russian armed forces carried out overnight strikes on several targets in Ukraine and in the Black Sea, Russia's Ministry of Defense reported.
According to the ministry, the strikes hit the Northern Bridge in Kyiv, the "Hostomel" logistics center in Kyiv region, and a cargo ship that was in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
A one-sided account of the conflict
The published statement comes solely from the Russian military authority; as of publication, the Ukrainian side had not provided its own assessment of the damage or confirmation that the listed targets were struck.
Russia's Defense Ministry regularly publishes reports on strikes against infrastructure in Ukraine, describing them as military or logistical targets. Independent verification of such claims remains difficult because of limited access for independent observers to the conflict zone.
There have been previous reports of repeated strikes on Ukraine's transport and port infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict. Details on casualties or the extent of damage from the latest strikes have not yet been specified.
Ukrainian authorities had not officially responded to this report at the time of publication.
