Ukrainian forces struck key defense industry plants in Russia on the night of June 14. The troops targeted facilities involved in the production of explosive materials, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The attack was carried out by units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in coordination with other components of the Defense Forces.
During the strike, facilities of JSC NNK in the Samara region were hit. This is a leading enterprise involved in the production of explosive material components. Explosions and a fire were reported in the industrial zone.
The Nevinnomyssk plant in Russia’s Stavropol region was also targeted. It is one of the key producers of essential components for explosives, ammunition, and rocket fuel.
According to the General Staff, this enterprise is involved in supporting the Russian Federation’s armed aggression against Ukraine. A series of explosions and the operation of enemy air defense systems were reported directly in the target area, along with a fire in the industrial zone.
