On the night of July 11, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the Lukhovitsy Aviation Plant named after Voronin, which manufactures MiG-29 and MiG-31 fighter jets, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As the General Staff reported, the facility carries out the full range of work for the Russian army, from machining parts to final assembly, flight testing, and delivery of Russian MiG combat aircraft. Explosions and a fire were reported at the plant.
In addition, units of the Special Operations Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Security Service of Ukraine, in coordination with other components of the Defense Forces, struck the Instrument Design Bureau named after Shipunov.
This enterprise specializes in producing missiles for enemy surface-to-air missile systems and combined missile-artillery systems (SAM/C-RAM).
Explosions were observed, along with smoke over the industrial area, and ambulances and fire trucks were seen moving toward the target. The results of the strike are being clarified.
"The Defense Forces continue to take all necessary measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to end its armed aggression against Ukraine," the General Staff noted.

Russian Telegram channels reported that on July 11, drones targeted the Kronshtadt drone manufacturing facility located in the city of Dubna, Moscow region.
