The Ukrainian military said it had hit Russian military-industrial facilities used to produce explosives, as Russia attacked the southern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhia in a drone attack that destroyed a humanitarian aid warehouse.
At least three people were wounded in the Russian strikes on June 14, which involved 14 Iranian "Shahid" drones, said Ivan Fedorov, the Ukrainian governor of the Zaporozhye region.
"A humanitarian facility caught fire due to Russian shelling. Cars, a shop and a public transport station were damaged. The shock wave shattered windows in high-rise buildings," Fedorov said in a post on Telegram.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities said several industrial complexes were damaged during a nighttime attack by a Ukrainian drone in the Stavropol and Samara regions.
Russia handed over another 14 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers on June 1.200, the third such exchange of bodies since Moscow and Kiev reached an agreement on the subject during talks in Istanbul earlier this month.
In total, Ukraine has received 3.012 bodies to date. It is not clear how many bodies Ukraine has returned to Russia.
A Russian attack in Zaporizhia destroyed a warehouse with humanitarian aid, local authorities reported.
"Everything has burned down. We have just received five trucks of aid, a total of 100 tons," Oleksandr Belyuga, who oversees the warehouse, told Radio Free Europe's (RFE) Ukrainian Service.
Beljuga said his organization, founded shortly after the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, provided assistance to internally displaced persons and residents of frontline areas. It also collaborated with the World Central Kitchen in the region.
Fedorov said that another 14 apartment buildings were damaged in the June 15 attack, injuring two police officers and a 62-year-old woman.
The Ukrainian military, meanwhile, claimed that two explosives manufacturers were damaged in Ukrainian attacks.
Earlier, Russian media reported that drones had attacked two chemical plants in Stavropol and Samara. One of the targets was the Nevinnomyssky Azot chemical plant.
Reportedly, the plant annually produces up to a million tons of ammonia and over a million tons of ammonium nitrate -- a key ingredient in explosives and artillery shells.
Stavropol Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said the debris fell in an industrial area of the city. He initially reported one casualty, but later clarified that no one was injured.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down more Ukrainian drones over the Voronezh and Belgorod regions, as well as over occupied Crimea.
Russia has stepped up its battlefield operations in recent weeks, pressing Ukrainian defenses in several locations, including the northeastern Sumy region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed on June 14 that Ukrainian forces had held back the advance of Russian troops.
In the south, Russian troops are making a strong advance from Donetsk Oblast into neighboring Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. A consolidation in Dnipropetrovsk would be a symbolic victory for Russian troops and would bring them closer to the Ukrainian-controlled city of Dnipropetrovsk.
