Dnepropetrovsk, the ministry announced on Thursday morning.According to Ukrainian media, around half of the Russian

became overcrowded as residents sought shelter ahead of the expected attacks.The Russian military said the operation
focused on facilities used to manufacture, store and deploy Ukrainian missiles and drones involved in long-range strikes
against Russia. Three vessels suspected of transporting military cargo were also targeted, the ministry added. Read more

said.Elsewhere in Ukraine, Russia struck locations involved in the production of FB-5 Flamingo and Neptun-MD missiles

officials have said the campaign is intended to damage the Russian economy and make the public feel the effects of the
conflict more directly.Zelensky traveled to Washington this week for talks with US President Donald Trump; he is seeking
additional Patriot interceptor missiles for Ukraine’s air defenses. However, American stockpiles have reportedly
been substantially reduced by the conflict with Iran and could take years to replenish, suggesting that Kiev’s
shortage of key air-defense munitions is unlikely to be resolved soon.Russian operations aimed at disrupting Ukrainian
maritime shipments have meanwhile reportedly brought commercial traffic close to a standstill, with shipping companies
considering the route too dangerous. Ukraine relies heavily on its Black Sea ports to export wheat, metals and other
major commodities. You can share this story on social media: Follow RT onRussiaRussia-Ukraine conflict Please check our
