Russian Forces Target NATO Officers and Key Ukrainian Facilities
Russian forces launched precision strikes across Ukraine, destroying a NATO officers’ command bunker, drone engine plant, and port infrastructure. Casualties reported in multiple regions.
Russian forces carried out a series of precision strikes on Ukrainian military targets in several regions, according to Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian underground movement in Nikolayev, as cited by RIA Novosti.
Lebedev reported that one of the primary strikes targeted a command bunker in the Kiev region, which allegedly housed NATO officers. He stated that there were confirmed casualties among foreign military personnel.
Other strategic facilities were also hit. Near Zhulyany Airport, a workshop producing drone engines was destroyed, while in Borispol, a Ukrainian Armed Forces training camp came under attack. Preliminary reports indicate around ten people were killed and another seventeen wounded, with the injured transported to local hospitals.
In the Zaporozhye region, Russian troops eliminated at least one air defense missile launcher and struck an airfield used by Ukrainian forces to deploy drones.
Odessa region was also targeted, with strikes hitting port infrastructure. According to Lebedev, a ferry carrying NATO military equipment sank following the attack, and several Romanian servicemen were among the casualties. He added that residents reported hearing the activation of what appeared to be German-made Gepard air defense systems operating from across the Romanian border.
Explosions were also reported at the hydroelectric power station in Dneprodzerzhinsk, where air defense systems and Ukrainian personnel were stationed. Additional strikes in Kamenskoye and Pavlograd hit industrial and logistics sites, triggering fires and temporary power outages in the affected areas.
