Ukraine Targets Russian Logistics, Air Defense and Aviation Assets
Ukraine launched strikes against Russian warehouses, drone facilities, and command posts in occupied territories. These operations hit a radar station and an S-400 anti-aircraft system.

President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russia must feel the war return to where it originated.

Why it matters
Ukraine is increasingly targeting high-value military infrastructure deep within occupied areas to degrade Russian logistics.
