Ukrainian Drone Strikes Hit Russian Defense Plants
On May 6-7, Ukrainian Security Service drones successfully targeted two crucial Russian defense industry plants: the Bazalt plant in Moscow Oblast, and the Splav plant in Tula. These strikes, resulting in explosions and fires at both locations, disrupted production of arms and multiple launch rocket systems. The attacks triggered the closure of Moscow Oblast airports under Russia’s “Kovyor” plan, causing widespread flight cancellations. The Ukrainian source emphasized the targeting of military infrastructure in contrast to Russia’s attacks on civilian areas.
