Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1647: Kyiv is under nonstop attack for a second day as Russia’s strikes wipe out 90% of Ukraine’s modern commercial storage
Russian jet-powered drones have struck warehouses and logistics facilities around Kyiv for two days running, part of a wider campaign that has destroyed 90% of Ukraine's modern commercial storage capacity.
On the 1647th day of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Kyiv has faced continuous bombardment for two days in a row. Russia has struck the city's civilian supply chains, targeting warehouses, businesses, and logistics facilities. The strikes have disrupted supplies as rescuers continue to work under the threat of further attacks.
Russia's drones have repeatedly targeted Ukraine's major Lukoil refineries, leaving them offline. The country's modern commercial storage capacity has been reduced to 10% of its normal volume due to the relentless attacks. Retail logistics are being reshaped amidst the crisis.
Ukrainian President's tech adviser, Serhii Flash Beskrestnov, stated that radar seeker heads are the solution to interceptors' hit rates, which have collapsed due to Russian drone strikes. Ukraine has built a turret for its ground robots, dubbed "Persian elephants," which have faced intense Russian fire.
The war has also had a humanitarian impact. Russia destroyed the last of Kherson's heat and power equipment on August 26th. The country's defense minister, Yevhenii Khmara, arrived in the region days later to address the city's power plant wreckage caused by glide bombs.
