Ukraine strikes Russian drone factory 1,200km away from frontline
One person was killed and 13 others wounded after Ukraine struck an alleged drone factory in Russia's Tatarstan region, local authorities said.
Regional governor Rustam Minnikhanov said the drone was destroyed, but falling debris ignited a fire and struck a vehicle manufacturing plant in the Yelabuga district, some 1,200km from the frontline. Russia’s defence ministry said it shot down six Ukrainian drones overnight.
The Ukrainian military claimed the factory produced, tested, and launched drones at Ukraine, which targeted Kyiv's energy and civil infrastructure.
Russia launched 183 drones and decoys, along with 11 missiles, at Ukraine overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force, which said its air defenses destroyed 111 drones and eight missiles, while another 48 drones were jammed.
