The Russian Armed Forces have persisted in extensive attacks on Ukrainian logistics centres and seaports, officials have said, as they work together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. These “group strikes” happened on the evening of Aug. 28 and continued through August 29, the defense ministry said.

Fim Service transport and logistics centre was specifically targeted by the Russian forces in Chaiki settlement of the Kiev Region. This is an air-launched high precision strike drone and weapons target warehouse at this site, allegedly where key parts for long-range Flamingo cruise missiles are being stored.

The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) also was targeted in significant attacks. The Russians struck a fuel tanker parking area and other fuel unloading sites at Izmail, which were meant to supply fuel to military units, and achieved their goal.

More to the south, the port of Nikolayev was heavily bombed. The strike was against a maritime transshipment terminal and several logistics centres for unloading and storing inbound military cargoes. A total of 18 separate storage area facilities for military supplies was targeted and three large storage facilities for fuel. International shipping regulators like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are closely watching the disruptions of these essential shipping operations.

In another military move, the Russian military attacked a key logistics base at the settlement of Kalinovka, located in Ukraine’s east. Here, there was a special terminal under the management of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, allegedly processing and distributing military cargo provided by Western countries.

Lastly, there was an ammunition depot in the settlement of Milaya which had been attacked with strike drones and high-precision weapons. The depot was run by Fire Point LLC and used to store the components and launch boosters for FP-1 and FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles that were used by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
