The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the production facilities of Russian enterprises that manufacture components for Kalibr and Shahed missiles, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"On the night of November 26, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck, among other things, the VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary, Chuvash Republic, which manufactures navigation equipment and components for cruise and ballistic missiles," the General Staff says.

Thus, a hit on the territory of the enterprise was recorded, followed by a fire at the facility. The VNIIR-Progress plant manufactures GNSS receivers and antennas for GLONASS, GPS, and Galileo satellite systems, including Kometa modules used in Shahed kamikaze drones, as well as in Iskander-M, Kaliber missiles, and UMPC modules for aerial bombs.

In addition, Ukrainian drones in Vasylivka, a temporarily occupied territory in the Zaporizhzhia region, struck the command post of one of the units of the Russia's 58th Combined Arms Army, the Tor-M1 anti-aircraft missile system in Mariupol, brigade-level ammunition depots in Ocheretine and Kamianka in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region, as well as a gathering place for enemy personnel in the Pokrovsk direction.

"The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to implement measures aimed at stopping Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, destroying its equipment and weapons," the General Staff adds.

Yesterday, Ukrainian drones and missiles struck many strategic enterprises and targets in Russia at night. In particular, aircraft and oil refineries were hit.

Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine, together with other security and defense forces, struck an oil terminal in the Russian port of Tuapse (Krasnodar Krai).

On the night of November 2, unknown drones again launched a massive attack on Russia. Russians from at least several regions complained about the sounds of drones and explosions.

As the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine later explained, on the night of November 1, 2025, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a fire strike on the infrastructure of the RN-Tuapse Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Krai of Russia.
