Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed it targeted drone boosters in Myla, Flamingo cruise missile parts in Kyiv and ports in Mykolaiv and Izmail.
Separately, Saturday’s shelling in southern Kherson killed two people and wounded 27, including a child. Regional head Oleksandr Prokudin warned of prolonged winter outages from intensified infrastructure strikes in the 70-percent Russian-controlled territory, urging tens of thousands to evacuate.
