Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether similar attacks spread to areas with greater economic infrastructure.

• Independent confirmation from Ukrainian officials or international monitoring organizations
• Any expansion of targeting to civilian infrastructure or logistics networks in the region
