**Deck**: Russian forces used Geran‑4 and Geran‑5 jet-powered drones to strike a logistics center near Kyiv between 18:40 and 19:10, with warehouses linked to the Avhust Plus and Kominvent enterprises among the targets. Reporting from the scene said the drones hit their objectives and set off a large fire at the site.

Russian drones have struck a logistics center on the outskirts of Kyiv, igniting fires at warehouses identified in reporting as belonging to the Avhust Plus and Kominvent enterprises.

According to accounts that included precise coordinates, Geran‑4 and Geran‑5 jet‑powered drones hit the area between 18:40 and 19:10. The strikes were geolocated to at least two points at 50.563007, 30.277877 and 50.562086, 30.276968.

These locations mark a logistics cluster where Avhust Plus and Kominvent operate warehouse facilities. Reporting from the scene said the drones struck their intended targets. A large‑scale fire broke out at the facilities after impact.

Photos circulated after the attack showed extensive flames and smoke rising from the warehouses. The available material does not specify what was stored inside, and there was no immediate independent assessment of structural damage beyond the visible fires.

In a separate statement about its operations, the Russian Ministry of Defence said it had targeted the "Hostomel" logistics centre in the city of Hostomel, which it described as storing military equipment. The ministry’s communique presents the attack as part of a broader effort to hit Ukrainian logistics, although Ukrainian officials had not publicly detailed the impact on Hostomel.

For workers and drivers who use these hubs, the attack turns routine warehouses and access roads into high‑risk locations, especially during evening hours when drone raids are common. Even when casualty information is limited, fires on this scale can disrupt distribution schedules and force operators to reroute cargo.

The use of Geran‑4 and Geran‑5 drones suggests Moscow was willing to expend more capable systems against what it sees as valuable infrastructure. Jet‑powered drones can cover the distance to fixed targets quickly and are often used against sites that have been carefully scouted in advance.

In the coming days, signs of how quickly activity resumes at the coordinates hit near Kyiv, any follow‑on Russian strikes against comparable logistics centers, and official statements from Ukrainian authorities on the damage will show whether this was an isolated blow or part of a sustained campaign against rear‑area hubs.
