Ukraine attacks missile electronics plant in Russia

On Monday, Ukraine’s armed forces announced that it had targeted an electronics manufacturing plant for missiles located in Russia’s Voronezh region, and also struck the Dubna satellite communications centre in the Moscow region.

The Ukrainian General Staff, via a Telegram statement, confirmed that air‑launched cruise missiles were employed against the Voronezh facility, calling it a vital part of Russia’s defence‑production network.

Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev acknowledged that a production plant in the region sustained damage and that three individuals were injured, but he did not disclose the specific nature of the facility.

He added that Russian air‑defence systems had intercepted multiple high‑speed aerial targets above the area, and cautioned residents about the possibility of additional missile strikes.

Ukraine also reported hitting the Dubna satellite communications centre in the Moscow region, noting that heavy smoke was visible at the site; an evaluation of the damage is still underway.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that 84 drones en route to the capital had been intercepted in the previous 24 hours, and that emergency services were dispatched to the sites where the drones were brought down.

Following the attacks, Russia’s aviation regulator temporarily halted operations at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence reported that its air‑defence systems shot down 301 drones overnight, some of which were over Russian‑occupied areas in Ukraine.

These attacks follow a drone strike that targeted Moscow’s sole oil refinery, marking one of the largest aerial assaults on the Russian capital since the beginning of Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
