Ukrainian forces strike Russian drone and missile depot
Ukrainian forces launched an attack on Russian territory, destroying both a missile depot and a factory that produces cargo drones. The Russians claim that a "dairy factory" was attacked.
"The EFKO factory was attacked. Although it is officially involved in food production, it also manufactures cargo drones used by the Russian army," reported Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Counteracting Disinformation, on social media.
The attack took place in the Novgorod region, approximately 423 miles from the Ukrainian border. The 13th Arsenal of the Main Missile-Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Russian Ministry of Defense was targeted.
