Ukrainian Drone Strikes Cripple Russian War Industry
Overnight drone strikes targeted key Russian defense industry facilities. The Independent Oil and Gas Company JSC in Samara Oblast, a producer of explosive components, and the Nevinnomyssk plant in Stavropol Krai, a major supplier of explosives and rocket fuel components, were both hit. Explosions and fires were reported at both locations, impacting Russia’s ability to supply its military. The attacks underscore Ukraine’s continued efforts to disrupt Russia’s war effort through long-range strikes. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
