Unmanned aerial vehicles purportedly attacked a Russian factory manufacturing components for missiles and radar systems.
In a surprising twist late last night, buzzing drones swarmed over the city of Bryansk, blitzing a crucial electronics plant. Unverified claims suggest this daring attack may have been orchestrated by Ukrainian forces, despite no official confirmation from them [4].
The unyielding Governor of Bryansk Oblast, Alexander Bogomaz, declared that the region had endured a fierce onslaught, with Russian air defenses reportedly fending off and annihilating an astounding 102 drones [4].
The prime target was the Kremniy-El plant, a significant facility specializing in the production of microelectronics essential for Russia's military-industrial complex [1][2][3]. This facility manufactures components for robust defensive systems like Pantsir and deadly offensive weapons such as the Iskander missiles, as well as radars, electronic warfare systems, drones, and electronic equipment for military planes [2].
Local Telegram channels supported these allegations, while official confirmation from local authorities was missing [3]. Andrii Kovalenko, an official from Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, hinted at the involvement of "unidentified" drones in the attack [4].
Images and videos published on Telegram depicted parts of the city ablaze overnight, with residents reporting luminous flashes in the sky [3]. Local media reported roughly 10 to 15 explosions in Bryansk, causing damage to civilian infrastructure, vehicles, and residential buildings. Shockingly, one civilian was reported dead, and another was injured due to the relentless assault [3].
Ukrainian forces have consistently made moves to challenge Moscow's offensive capabilities, launching targeted strikes on the enemy's military and industrial facilities [3]. Sitting about 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of the Russia-Ukraine border, Bryansk has been a recurring target due to its strategic significance [3].
