Defense Forces strike military-industrial complex object and several oil facilities in Moscow region
According to Ukrinform, the SSU reported this.
In the Moscow region, the Angstrom Plant—which supplies semiconductors to the aggressor country’s military-industrial complex and is subject to U.S. sanctions—as well as the Moscow Refinery and the Sonechnogorsk and Volodarskoye oil pumping stations, were struck.
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, infrastructure facilities and air defense systems at the Belbek Airfield were struck, specifically:
- the Pantsir-S2 air defense system;
- a hangar housing radar for the S-400 system;
- the Orion drone control system and the Forpost ground-based UAV control station;
- a ground-to-air data transmission station;
- a control tower and a hangar.
The strikes were carried out in accordance with the tasks set by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
SSU Head Yevhenii Khmara emphasized that such special operations are critical for weakening Russia’s military capabilities.
“Strikes against defense industry facilities, military infrastructure, and oil logistics reduce the enemy’s ability to continue the war against Ukraine. These strikes demonstrate that even the most protected Moscow region is not safe,” he noted.
Khmara assured that high-precision special operations aimed at destroying enemy military resources will continue.
As reported by Ukrinform, on May 17, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian long-range strikes have reached the Moscow region.
