Drones that attacked the Smolensk Aviation Plant producing Kh-59 missiles in Russia on Sunday, October 1, damaged the production at the facility, disrupting the weapons' output, according to the representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov.
"It got tired. Like many other objects used by aggressors against Ukraine. In this situation, we are talking about an enterprise producing various modifications of Kh-59 missiles," he said.
Yusov did not comment on "what caused a blow and from where" but noted that these are precisely the missiles primarily produced for civilian objects and infrastructure, taking the lives of our peaceful citizens and defenders.
"Yes, the production base is damaged, the production rates are violated, and this has caused serious problems for the aggressor. We confirm this fact, and such practice will continue," added the intelligence representative.
