Russia and Ukraine are intensifying their long-range strikes as Kyiv targets Russian logistics infrastructure and Moscow responds with attacks on Ukrainian industrial and commercial facilities. Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted Russian Ozon logistics hubs for a third consecutive night on August 23-24, with fires reported at facilities in Adygea and Stavropol, while a Kuchenland warehouse in Krasnodar also caught fire. Meanwhile, Russia reportedly struck a Mondelez factory in Ukraine’s Sumy region, with several people reportedly injured. The escalation comes as Ukraine faces mounting pressure on its air-defence network. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv had struck a Russian Iskander missile launcher and warned that Moscow could potentially produce up to 1,300 ballistic missiles annually.
