Russia says it hit Ukrainian postal hub and ship as Ukraine strikes Ryazan
Injuries reported on both sides as Russia and Ukraine trade overnight drone strikes on energy and logistics sites.
Russia and Ukraine have traded drone attacks on each other’s infrastructure, causing injuries on both sides.
Moscow said on Thursday that it struck a postal logistics hub, a power substation and a cargo ship, while Ukrainian drones set off fires in an industrial zone in the Russian city of Ryazan, about 200km (125 miles) southeast of the capital.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said on Telegram that its forces had used drones to hit a terminal of Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s largest private delivery company, in the village of Novyi Korotych outside Kharkiv. It said it also struck a 330-kilovolt substation in the Dnipropetrovsk region and a dry cargo ship carrying military equipment in the Black Sea, 52km (32 miles) southwest of the port of Odesa.
He said falling debris caused fires at several industrial sites and damaged power lines, cutting electricity to parts of the city, and one person was injured. Malkov later said power had been restored and the fires had been extinguished or contained.
