On the night of August 25, Russian troops attacked four Ukrainian cities simultaneously—Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipro. Russian strikes damaged residential buildings and caused fires.
In addition, operations at the Vynohradivka–Vulcanesti international border crossing on the Ukrainian-Moldovan border were temporarily suspended following a nighttime Russian attack on August 25. The strike damaged the facility's infrastructure.
As a result of a Russian drone attack in Kherson, a Ukrainian Red Cross warehouse caught fire; the facility had been storing humanitarian aid worth nearly UAH 28 million.
The fire destroyed and damaged supplies, including materials for preparing for the fall and winter, resources for repairing damaged homes, medical supplies, blankets, hygiene kits, and equipment for providing water and electricity. None of the organization's staff or volunteers were injured.
