According to Ukraine's Air Force, Russia attacked Ukraine overnight on August 29 with an Onyx anti-ship missile, an Iskander-M ballistic missile, and 267 attack drones.

Russia's Defense Ministry said it had carried out coordinated strikes against logistics centers and seaports that were used to support Ukraine's armed forces, adding that the following targets were hit in Kyiv and Kyiv Region:

▪️Fim Service transport and logistics center in the village of Chayky — the warehouse facilities were used for storing components for Flamingo long-range cruise missiles.
▪️A logistics center in the village of Kalynivka — the facility includes a customs terminal that handled the distribution of military cargo arriving from Western countries.
▪️An ammunition depot in the village of Myla (Fayer Point LLC) — the warehouse facilities reportedly stored components and launch boosters for FP-1/FP-2 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles.

Throughout the day of August 29, Russian forces continued their strikes. Russia said it struck a shipbuilding facility in Kyiv involved in assembling and servicing remotely operated boats.

By the night of August 30, Kyiv remained under attack, which, according to local sources, had been ongoing for nearly 80 hours.

🇷🇺 Russia launches ~1,500 drones at Ukraine in 4 days

Zelensky reports that of the nearly 1,500 UAVs deployed over four days, approximately 800 were jet-powered. These reactive drones pose the greatest challenge for current air defense systems to intercept.

Kiev strikes: Shift to military-industrial targets

Recent attacks on Kiev (Aug 28-30) involved over 550 UAVs plus ballistic missiles. A major ammunition and drone storage facility in Milaya was hit. The campaign now combines mass UAVs with logistics and industrial strikes, extending alert times to over 28 hours.

Ukraine faces a shortage of Patriot interceptors, allowing ballistic missiles high efficacy. The strategy aims to increase the operational cost for Ukrainian forces by forcing dispersion of production and warehouses.
