Russian Armed Forces Say They Struck Logistics, Storage Terminals Supporting Ukrainian Army

Russia's Armed Forces struck logistical and storage terminals used to support the Ukrainian army, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS citing the country's Defense Ministry.

The Russian Defense Ministry also said its forces struck a dry cargo ship that was sailing to deliver military supplies for the Ukrainian army, per the TASS report.

The claims originate solely from the Russian Defense Ministry and have not been independently verified. As with other battlefield reports issued by combatant parties during the war in Ukraine, details such as the specific locations, extent of damage and any casualties were not included in the available account.

Ukraine has not issued an immediate public response to these specific claims, and independent confirmation of the strikes described was not immediately available.

Attacks on logistics and supply infrastructure have been a recurring feature of the conflict, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces regularly targeting supply lines, storage facilities and transport infrastructure supporting the opposing side's military operations.

The reported strikes add to a continuing pattern of mutual claims by both sides regarding strikes on military and logistics targets throughout the war, which is now well into its fourth year.
