Russian forces carried out a large-scale overnight strike on Ukrainian territory, hitting a communications center in Kyiv, energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region, and port infrastructure in Izmail, Russia's Ministry of Defense said, according to Kommersant.
The strike was described by the ministry as part of continued Russian military operations against Ukrainian infrastructure, though Kommersant's report reflected the Russian Defense Ministry's own account of the targets and did not include independent confirmation of the extent of the damage.
The ministry's statement did not specify the number or type of weapons used in the strike, nor did it address any casualties or broader impact on the affected areas.
Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities have faced repeated strikes on energy and communications infrastructure since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, with both sides frequently offering differing accounts of the targets and consequences of such attacks.
