Russia Targets Vital Military Infrastructures Across Ukraine
The Russian military continues to carry out targeted strikes on the Kyiv military infrastructure and command positions as part of a broader offensive against Ukrainian forces, Sputnik reported.

The Russian military used sea and air-based long-range precision weapons, the Kinzhal hypersonic missile system, and drones, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov stated. "All designated targets were hit," Konashenkov said.

The Russian Armed Forces attacked infrastructure facilities in Stryi (Lviv region), including a military airfield being prepared to receive Western F-16 fighters.

Russia's strikes reportedly targeted five Ukrainian regions – Poltava, Kirovograd, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Vinnytsia – as well as part of the Zaporizhzhia region that is currently under the Kyiv control. Air defenses were also operating in Kyiv and the capital’s environs.

The Russian military hit industrial facilities in Kiev, according to the coordinator of the Nikolayev underground network Sergey Lebedev. Explosions were heard in the Darnitsa car repair plant and the Antonov aircraft manufacturing plant.

Furthermore, two critical energy infrastructure facilities were targeted in the Lviv region: an energy generation facility in the Chervonograd district, and a large underground gas storage facility in the Stryi district.

A missile strike caused a fire at the Dobrotvor Thermal Power Plant (Lviv region).

Blasts were also heard in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, in the Burshtyn coal-fired thermal power plant. Detonations echoed around the Ladyzhin TPP (Vinnytsia region).

In the Dnepropetrovsk region, explosions were registered in the city of Kamenskoye, at the site of the Srednedneprovskaya hydroelectric power station.
