War

On the night of August 14–15, a fire broke out at a shopping center in Zaporizhzhia, and a drone strike on the grounds of an industrial facility was also reported.

According to a new survey, only 5% of internally displaced persons have received housing compensation, even though 57% of IDPs lost their homes in the occupied territories or in the combat zone.

At least one person was killed and 22 others were wounded as a result of a massive attack by Russian forces on the Kramatorsk community in Donetsk Oblast on August 13.

The Russians attacked Kherson and the Kherson region with drones and aerial bombs; several neighborhoods are without power.

In Ukraine, the first jet-powered interceptor drones, designed to counter a new threat—jet-powered “shahids”—are undergoing combat testing.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia will not stop at the front lines, but will make its own methods of combat “much tougher in order to destroy everything that fuels Kyiv’s war machine from the West.”

Russia uses about 220 guided bombs every day against Ukrainian communities near the front lines. Despite international sanctions, the Russian defense industry continues to produce and modernize these weapons.

On the night of August 8, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a large-scale attack on the Syzran Oil Refinery, which is part of Rosneft’s oil complex. Drones struck not just a single target, but the facility’s entire production chain-from basic oil refining to secondary refining units and the production of high-octane fuel components.

This morning, Russian troops launched a double strike with rocket-powered drones against a private residential building in the Buryn community in Sumy Oblast.

Russia has changed its airstrike tactics and has recently been targeting primarily Ukrainian logistics hubs. In particular, Russia is attempting to destroy warehouses and sorting centers belonging to companies such as "Nova Poshta," Rozetka, and "Epicenter." The Russians claim that this is their alleged response to Ukrainian strikes on warehouses belonging to the Russian marketplace Wildberries.
