Russian drone strikes reportedly hit Zhytomyr region in western Ukraine on March 31, 2025, damaging four residential buildings with unknown casualties. The attack represents continued targeting of Ukrainian civilian infrastructure as part of the ongoing conflict.

Supply chain impact

  • Reports of damage to any energy, transportation, or industrial facilities beyond residential buildings
  • Escalation patterns in western Ukrainian regions that could threaten broader logistics corridors
