Statements by the Russian Defense Ministry

Russia's Defense Ministry reported that its military struck, using drones, the LLC NTP Ukrspecsvyaz enterprise in the village of Nadtochiy in Kharkiv Oblast. According to the ministry, the electronics industry enterprise produced automation systems and communications equipment for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru citing the ministry.

A cargo ship near Odesa and a logistics terminal

According to the same source, a cargo ship delivering military supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to a Ukrainian port was struck off the coast of Odesa. In addition, on the night of October 27, according to the Defense Ministry, a strike was carried out on the unloading and customs terminal of the Regional Logistics Center company in Kharkiv Oblast, where, the ministry claims, dual-use goods for the Ukrainian Armed Forces were stored and distributed.

Reports of strikes on Kyiv's thermal power plants

This information is supplemented by the Telegram channel Mash, which writes that overnight Kyiv's TPP-4, TPP-5 and TPP-6 were attacked. According to the channel, the strikes were carried out with RM-48U ballistic missiles launched from S-400 air defense systems, and TPP-5 was hit at least twice. Impacts were also reported in the Holosiivskyi and Chabany districts and on the Southern Bridge across the Dnipro. Earlier, after a series of explosions in Kyiv, Suzuki car dealerships reportedly ceased operations.

What is important to keep in mind

The information about the struck targets comes mainly from the Russian Defense Ministry, while the reports about Kyiv's thermal power plants come from the Telegram channel Mash; the cited publications contain no independent confirmation of these claims. The extent of the damage and the presence of casualties are also not specified. The reports about the enterprise in Nadtochiy, the cargo ship near Odesa and the terminal in Kharkiv Oblast concern infrastructure that the ministry links to supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces — that is, these are claimed military targets rather than civilian facilities, although these formulations have not been verified in the sources.
