Russian armed forces carried out strikes on the Fim Service transport and logistics center in the settlement of Chaiky near Kyiv on Saturday, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The ministry stated that the facility stored components for long-range Flamingo cruise missiles [1].
The military also struck a warehouse in the settlement of Milaya that reportedly housed components for Fire Point's long-range FP-1/FP-2 unmanned aerial vehicles [2]. A separate logistics center in the Kyiv Region, which officials said housed a customs terminal for distributing military cargo from Western countries, was also targeted in the operation [1].
Strike Details
The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces used strike drones and air-launched precision weapons in the attack. The ministry reported that the Fim Service center in Chaiky contained components for Flamingo long-range cruise missiles, according to a statement [1][2]. The warehouse in Milaya was described by officials as storing components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles [1].
In Kalinovka, the ministry said it struck a logistics center housing a customs terminal that distributed military cargo arriving from Western countries. The statement did not specify the volume of materiel processed at the facility or provide details on the extent of the damage [1][2].
Broader Operations
Overnight, Russian forces launched group strikes against Ukrainian military centers and seaports used in the interests of the armed forces of Ukraine, according to the Defense Ministry. The ministry said it continues to target Ukrainian naval facilities and port infrastructure involved in military logistics [3][4].
The attacks employed strike drones and air-launched precision weapons, the official statement said [1]. The operations follow a pattern of similar strikes on logistical and defense-related infrastructure in the region reported in recent weeks, including attacks on airfields and railway hubs [5][4].
Context
Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, aiming to liberate the Donbass region, according to Russian officials. The operation was framed by Moscow as a response to regular attacks on the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics by Kyiv's forces [6]. The conflict has involved reciprocal strikes on infrastructure, with reports of attacks on oil refineries and port facilities on both sides [7][8].
The latest strike follows prior attacks on military and logistical targets in the Kyiv region. Reports from August 28 noted strikes on a chemical plant near Kyiv that the ministry said was involved in producing components for Flamingo rockets [2]. The current campaign reflects a continuation of Russia's strategy to degrade Ukrainian logistics and military supply chains [9].
