Ukraine strikes Russian drone plant with Neptune missiles
Key Points
  • Ukraine struck the Atlant Aero drone plant with Neptune missiles.
  • The plant produces key drone components and is vital for Russian electronic warfare.
  • Additional strikes hit a steel plant in Alchevsk and FSB facilities in Donetsk.

Ukraine's defence forces said they struck the Atlant Aero drone plant and warehouses using domestically-made Neptune missiles. The facility produces Molniya-1 and Molniya-2 kamikaze and FPV unmanned planes, as well as components for the Orion drone, and is key to electronic warfare capability. The Ukrainian Armed Forces Navy stated: "The successful work of our military means a reduction in the enemy's production capacity and hundreds of drones that destroy our cities and villages, killing civilians."

In separate operations, Ukraine's security service and drone forces struck a steel plant in Alchevsk for the second time this month, according to multiple reports. Ukrainian forces also hit a command center and a rear base of the Russian FSB in temporarily occupied Donetsk, sources said. The extent of damage at the targeted sites has not been confirmed, and it is unclear whether there were any casualties.

The successful work of our military means a reduction in the enemy's production capacity and hundreds of drones that destroy our cities and villages, killing civilians.
