Last night, long-range drones of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) struck two key defense industry facilities in the Russian rear.

A source in the SSU informed Ukrinform about it.

“Explosions occurred at the ‘Bazalt’ — Russia’s main defense enterprise producing weapons and ammunition for all branches of the Russian military (Krasnoarmeysk, Moscow region). Local residents counted at least seven explosions followed by a fire. Drones also struck the ‘Splav’ plant — Russia’s only facility that designs and manufactures multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and related ammunition (Tula city). A large fire and heavy smoke followed the drone impacts,” the source said.
