**Deck**: Russian Geran‑4 drones struck a warehouse facility in the town of Usatove in Odesa Oblast and targeted areas near Odesa Port, causing large fires recorded by satellite sensors.

Russian drone strikes overnight once again turned logistics sites in Odesa Oblast into targets, with a warehouse in Usatove burning and drones reported near Odesa’s port area.

According to Ukrainian reporting, Russian Geran‑4 jet‑powered drones hit a warehouse facility in the town of Usatove, northwest of Odesa, at coordinates 46.50325, 30.62937. The impact triggered a large fire that was detected as a thermal anomaly in NASA’s FIRMS satellite fire‑monitoring system, indicating a substantial blaze.

Drones also targeted the vicinity of Odesa Port. Early accounts did not specify exactly which facilities near the port were affected.

Warehouses in locations such as Usatove are important nodes in the movement of goods within Ukraine, including cargo headed toward the Black Sea. Repeated damage to such sites forces transport planners to reroute shipments and increases pressure on remaining storage and handling points.

Odesa Port remains one of Ukraine’s main links to overseas markets. Even strikes on surrounding infrastructure, such as warehouses and land near port facilities, can affect operations by disrupting road access, storage and support services.

In the wider pattern of overnight attacks, these Odesa‑area strikes came alongside Russian operations against power infrastructure and industrial sites in other regions, underscoring how storage, logistics and energy facilities are being targeted across the country.

Key developments to watch include more detailed damage assessments from the Usatove warehouse site, any confirmation of specific objects hit near Odesa Port, and whether similar warehouse and logistics targets in Odesa Oblast come under further attack.
