Ukraine Strikes Deep Inside Russia, Hits Military Plant in Cheboksary Kyiv Confirms Long Range Missile Attack Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukrainian forces launched a long range missile strike inside Russia, targeting a key military production facility in Cheboksary, in the Chuvash Republic. The city lies more than 900 km from the frontline, showing an expansion of Ukraine’s strike reach. Officials in the region confirmed that the city was hit overnight and reported three injuries. They did not directly confirm damage to the military plant, but local emergency services responded to the area. Target: Drone and Missile Component Plant Ukraine claims the strike hit the VNIIR Progress facility, a site believed to supply parts used in drones and missiles for Russia’s military operations. Zelensky said FP 5 Flamingo cruise missiles were used in the attack. According to Ukraine, a fire broke out at the plant after impact. The military has not independently verified the full extent of the damage. Wider Wave of Strikes Across Russia and Occupied Areas Alongside the Cheboksary strike, Ukraine reported hits on several other strategic locations. These included the occupied port of Mariupol, an oil refinery in Samara, and a tanker linked to Russia’s so called shadow fleet in the Black Sea. Kyiv says these targets support Russia’s war effort and are therefore legitimate military objectives. Heavy Drone Warfare on Both Sides Russia’s military said its air defence systems intercepted or destroyed 326 Ukrainian drones overnight across multiple regions. Ukraine’s air force reported it shot down 181 of 207 Russian drones launched in the same period. It also said 21 strikes hit targets across 14 locations. Local authorities in Ukraine reported at least two deaths and 26 injuries in recent attacks, including children. Rising Pressure on Energy and Military Infrastructure Ukraine has increased strikes on Russian occupied areas and energy infrastructure in recent months. Officials say this is aimed at weakening Moscow’s military supply chain and increasing pressure on its war capacity. The FP 5 Flamingo missile, reportedly used in the Cheboksary strike, carries a heavy warhead and has a long range that can reach deep into Russian territory, including Moscow.
