Defence Ministry: Russia strikes Ukrainian Be Mobile data centre

Russia’s Defence Ministry says its forces have carried out strikes against a Ukrainian data centre and several logistics and military-related facilities across Ukraine.

The strikes targeted the “Bi-Mobile” data centre, which Russia claims was used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to store and process data, including intelligence, and to operate network equipment, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

The Russian Defence Ministry also said its forces struck the “Gostomel” logistics centre, which it described as a storage site for components used in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Other reported targets included a Nova Poshta terminal in Khmelnytskyi and the “Dnipro” logistics centre, according to the ministry.

In the Odesa region, Russia said it struck an automotive components plant that serviced vehicles used by the Ukrainian military, as well as a warehouse containing UAVs.

The Russian Defence Ministry further claimed that its forces targeted maritime assets and fuel infrastructure at the ports of Chornomorsk and Odesa. The reported targets included two dry-cargo vessels, a motorboat and fuel tanks in Chornomorsk, as well as a motorboat and a dry-cargo vessel allegedly carrying supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the port of Odesa.
