Russian Defense Ministry Says It Struck Military-Related Facilities in Kyiv and Odesa
Moscow said its forces hit an industrial site in Kyiv used to make UAV components and prepare ground robotic systems, according to Russian state media.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces carried out strikes on defense-related facilities and logistics centers in Kyiv and Odesa, according to a report from TASS.
The ministry specified that Russian forces struck an industrial facility in Kyiv that it said manufactured components for long- and medium-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and prepared ground robotic systems for deployment.
The report did not provide independent verification of the ministry's claims regarding the targets struck or the extent of any damage caused. Ukrainian officials were not quoted in the TASS report regarding these specific strikes.
