Ukraine Strikes Russian Arms Factory and Oil Depot

The Ukrainian military has intensified its strikes deep into Russian territory. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian Flamingo missiles struck the Titan-Barrikady plant in the Volgograd region, which specializes in the production of artillery systems and components for missile launchers.

The attack on the factory grounds caused a massive fire. At the same time, the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed a successful drone strike on the "Vtorovo" oil pumping station in the Vladimir region. This is already the second strike this month on this key logistics hub, used for both domestic transport and the export of petroleum products.

Fighting and mutual attacks are intensifying on both sides. While Ukraine is deliberately targeting Russian military and energy infrastructure, Russia continues its massive nighttime shelling of Ukrainian cities. According to Zelensky, Moscow launched nearly 1,400 drones and 19 missiles at 15 Ukrainian regions over the past week.

These attacks have also severely impacted the civilian sector. The Ukrainian company Naftogaz confirmed damage to production facilities in the Poltava and Kharkiv regions.
