Ukrainian deep strikes reach Orenburg logistics hub and southern airfields
Reporting over 48 hours describes drone strikes on a second Ozon logistics hub at Orenburg, some 1,000km inside Russia, and on aviation and air-defence sites in Krasnodar Krai, Crimea and Belgorod. No NATO-territory spillover reported.
KEY JUDGMENTWe assess Ukraine will sustain deep strikes on Russian logistics and airfields, widening the target set to economic infrastructure. This raises the risk of Russian reprisal against Ukrainian logistics, with no indicator of deliberate action against NATO territory.
