Ukraine reports missile strike on Russian military plant amid ongoing fuel crisis
Ukrainian President Zelensky reports a missile attack on a military plant deep inside Russia. This comes as sustained drone operations continue to exacerbate a fuel crisis, particularly impacting Russian-occupied territories like Crimea.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukrainian forces conducted a missile attack on a significant military plant in Cheboksary, Chuvash Republic, over 900km from the front line. Zelensky claimed FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles struck the drone and missile facility, with local officials reporting three injuries. This incident occurs as Ukraine's sustained drone operations continue to intensify a fuel crisis within Russia. Reports indicate disruptions to Moscow's supply lines, exacerbating shortages previously caused by long-range strikes on oil refineries. Occupied regions, including Crimea, are experiencing considerable logistical challenges and fuel difficulties.
