Russia's Defence Ministry said its drones hit the Grand Import logistics centre in the city of Khmelnytskyi overnight into 20 October 2026, claiming it was used to store military and dual-use cargo for Ukraine's armed forces. No Ukrainian statement on a strike on the site that night was read; a Russian strike on homes in Khmelnytskyi on 19 October that killed two women is recorded separately (evt_6ab4e870). The claim is unverified.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Overnight drone strikes on Ukrainian port infrastructure and ships, Khmelnytskyi, Kovel and Reni

Russian Defence Ministry claim only; the site's location within the city was not given and no Ukrainian confirmation was read. City-level placement.
