According to Mash, the attack began around 3:55 a.m. At that moment, three bangs and one powerful explosion were heard in the sky. Eyewitnesses reported seeing at least five drones flying very low.
SHOT reported between four and seven explosions in the city. Soon after, several other Telegram channels posted videos allegedly showing one of the strikes on the Arzamas Instrument-Building Plant (APZ).
Early in the morning, photos and videos showed a fire breaking out at the facility as a result of the attack. However, in later images, the fire was no longer visible.
