MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian military launched a heavy blitz on a facility in Kiev that produced components for long- and medium-range drones and where ground-based robotic systems were being readied for deployment, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.

"As a result of the strike, the following were hit in the city of Kiev: an industrial enterprise producing components for long- and medium-range unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as facilities for preparing ground-based robotic systems for use," the ministry said in a statement.
Russian firepower also pounded two logistics centers in Odessa — key depots where military and dual-use cargo flowing into Ukraine from Europe was stockpiled, the ministry said.
"A tanker‑type maritime vessel was damaged while it crossed sea, it was delivering fuel and lubricants to the port of Chernomorsk, intended to supply the armed forces of Ukraine," the statement added.
