Why target logistics centres?
Targeting logistics and supply centres, as Russia claimed, is a common military strategy. It aims to disrupt an enemy's ability to move troops, equipment, and provisions, weakening their overall war effort. By cutting off supplies, an army can be severely hampered, even if direct combat isn't happening.
