Russia attacks Ukraine's strategic logistics center

On the night of August 20, the Russian military launched a new offensive in the rear areas of Ukraine. Targets included fuel depots, military airports, and logistics centers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces across the country.

The Ukrainian Air Force claimed that Ukrainian air defense forces destroyed 25 of the 26 Russian drones, one of the three Iskander-M missiles and two Kh-59 missiles. However, public images and official statements from local authorities later showed that there were losses.

According to SF, Russia launched a combined attack and caused large explosions in the Kyiv, Sumy, Ternopil, Dnepropetrovsk, Vinnytsya and Khmelnitsky regions.

A major Ukrainian fuel depot has been attacked by Russia in the city of Ternopil. Video shared by Ukrainian sources confirms the attack as a large fire breaks out at the facility.

Russian precision strikes have also been confirmed in the village of Kotelva in the Poltava region. Public video footage shows a fire at a Ukrainian military logistics center. A series of explosions were also recorded in the city of Pokrovsk in the Dnepropetrovsk region. The city has been frequently attacked by Russia as it is another important logistics center for Ukraine. It is used to supply Ukrainian troops operating on the front lines in Donbass.

Ukrainian authorities confirmed that at least two Russian drones attacked targets in the Vinnytsia region. Later, reports of explosions were recorded in the city of Vinnytsia and the town of Tulchin.

In the Khmelnitsky region, Russian drones also carried out an attack on a military airport. Several other attacks were reported in the capital Kyiv. This is the third night in a row that the Kyiv region has recorded explosions.

On the front lines, the Russian military also continues to launch attacks against the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Last night, Russian airstrikes were reported in the city of Kremenchug and across the Sumy region, where the Ukrainian military has massed forces for an attack on Russian territory.
