Russia claims overnight attacks on Kyiv data hub, power sites and Izmail port

Russia's defence ministry said its forces carried out an overnight strike hitting a Kyiv communications centre, several energy installations and the port of Izmail.

According to Russia's defence ministry, a large-scale overnight operation hit multiple Ukrainian targets. In Kyiv, the De Novo data centre, described as a major internet traffic hub supporting the armed forces, was bombed. The strike also reached the Kyivska power substation near Nalyvaikivka, the hydroelectric plant in Vyshhorod, the Trypilska thermal power plant and an energy storage facility in Horenychi, all said to supply electricity to the military-industrial sector.

In the Odesa region, the industrial complex at the port of Izmail, used for receiving and storing military cargo and fuel, was hit, as was a dry cargo vessel in the northwestern Black Sea allegedly carrying dual-use goods to Odesa. The claims could not be independently verified.
