Russia's Defence Ministry said its overnight operations struck Ukrainian logistics sites — including the Epicentr logistics centre and the Vasyshchevo terminal in the Kharkiv region — and a cargo vessel travelling towards the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, which Moscow alleged was carrying supplies for Ukraine's armed forces, AnewZ reported. Reuters said it could not independently verify the ministry's claims, and Awaaz Punjab is reporting them as Russian claims, not confirmed facts.
