Ukrainian forces strike Russian Shahed drone warhead production facility in Moscow Oblast
On Friday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in coordination with other Defense Forces units, targeted the Federal Scientific and Production Center “Research Institute of Applied Chemistry” in Russia’s Moscow Oblast, according to the Ukrainian General Staff.
The General Staff noted that the facility currently produces, among other things, thermobaric warheads for Shahed drones, serving as a critical component in Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine.
It was confirmed that Ukrainian strike assets directly hit the target, with a fire and heavy smoke observed in the area.
The results of the strike are still being assessed.
Russian authorities previously claimed to have intercepted and destroyed 48 Ukrainian drones overnight into Friday across five regions.
Additionally, Telegram channels circulated footage showing smoke over the reportedly targeted Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant in Russia’s Rostov Oblast.
