Ukraine has reportedly intensified deep strikes against Russian logistics and defense industry targets, including the 'Samara' station, 'Astrakhan' plant, and a missile fuel facility. Concurrently, Russian forces have damaged a Ukrainian missile production plant. These developments occur amidst an unconfirmed US warning of potential aid cutoff to Ukraine following Russian strikes on Kyiv.
