Ukrainian forces struck logistics hubs described by officials as 'major' facilities located deep in central Russia. Kyiv said the targets played a key role in the supply chain for sanctioned components used in drone production and navigation systems.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the aggressor had used the facilities to supply sanctioned parts, framing the operation as part of Ukraine's effort to degrade Russia's own defense-industrial capacity. Moscow has not yet issued an official response to the strike.

The attack reflects a new phase of the war extending well beyond the front line, targeting supply and logistics networks deep inside Russian territory — a sign that the conflict's geographic reach continues to widen.
