On the morning of August 1, Russian troops launched drone strikes on the Poltava district. A critical infrastructure facility and a logistics terminal came under enemy attack; the occupiers struck the terminal a second time.
According to the head of the Regional Military Administration, a Russian drone struck the grounds of one of the critical infrastructure facilities in the Poltava district.
In addition, the occupiers launched a second strike on a logistics terminal that had previously been targeted by enemy attacks.
Debris from the downed drone also fell onto the grounds of a private residence, causing a fire in a farm building.

Currently, relevant services are working at the sites of the strikes and assessing the consequences of this latest Russian attack.
