The Ukrainian forces struck an electrical equipment factory in the Russian region of Britansk, destroying a large part of the site but making no victim, the local governor said on Sunday.
Alexander Bogomaz, governor of the British region, in western Russia and bordering on Ukraine and Belarus, said on Telegram that the attack had destroyed workshops and administrative buildings of the factory, located in the village of Suzemka.
According to Mash, a Telegram canal with links with Russian security services, the factory produced electrical equipment, including transformers and was struck using a GRAD-type rocket launcher system.
Mash also published a video of a large plume of smoke over the factory, which Reuters was not able to authenticate.
-In Ukraine, a senior official said that the factory specialized in the production of electronic equipment for the Russian defense industry.
“According to preliminary information, the Suzemka Strela factory, in the British region, is no longer operational since the shot,” added Andriy Kovalenko, head of the center for the fight against disinformation, in a message published on Telegram.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022, Kyiv has targeted Russian industrial facilities that she has suspected of producing equipment for the Moscow military campaign.
