Russian forces conducted a coordinated barrage overnight from Friday to Saturday, striking five military-industrial facilities and a logistics hub in Kiev and its suburbs, according to the Moscow Defense Ministry. Two ships carrying military cargo off Odessa were also hit during the operation.
The ministry detailed that precision air, sea, and ground-based weapons targeted Radioizmeratel, a Kiev-based enterprise supplying electronic components for Neptun-MD, Grom-2, and FP-7/FP-9 missiles, as well as navigation systems for long-range drones. Other sites destroyed included the Burevestnik plant—which manufactures electronics for long- and medium-range drones and radar equipment—and a Fire Point facility producing parts and warheads for FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles alongside chemicals for solid-fuel boosters.
The strikes additionally hit a site tied to Lima jamming systems used to spoof precision-guidance signals, as well as a drone assembly and storage point specializing in interceptor UAVs. A logistics center in Vishnevoye, Kiev Region—which handled components and warheads for Ukraine’s military forces—was also struck during the offensive. The ministry noted two ships carrying military cargo were targeted south of Odessa on Friday.
Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky claimed the attack involved 35 missiles—27 ballistic and 185 drones—with Kiev as the primary target alongside strikes in Dnepropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkov, and Poltava regions. He reported only one ballistic missile was intercepted due to a shortage of Western-supplied Patriot interceptors.
Zelensky also stated that fires erupted across seven districts of Kiev, resulting in at least nine fatalities and dozens injured. Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed fires at both residential and unspecified non-residential industrial sites.
