Kyiv: After Donald Trump was elected President of America, Ukraine has carried out a major drone attack on Russian weapons depot. Ukrainian drones attacked a munitions factory in central Russia overnight, a source in Ukraine’s SBU security service told Reuters on Saturday. The attack hit the Aleksinsky chemical plant, which produces gunpowder, ammunition and weapons, in the Tula region, about 200 km (120 miles) south of Moscow, the source said. The attack was part of a strategy to target factories supporting Moscow’s war against Ukraine.
The attacks on Russia’s military-industrial complex, its “weapons warehouses, military airfields and enterprises reduce Russia’s ability to terrorize Ukraine,” the SBU source said. The source did not give any estimate of the damage caused to the Aleksinsky factory. Russian state news agency Tass reported that Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down 50 Ukrainian drones in seven Russian regions overnight. As the war against Russia approaches its 1,000th day, Ukraine is on the backfoot on the battlefield against its larger and better-armed foe.
Ukrainian villages are also being destroyed due to Russian attack
Here Russian attacks are also causing massive destruction in Ukrainian villages. Russian troops are continuously advancing in the eastern Donetsk region. They are breaking through Ukrainian defense lines and destroying cities and villages there with guided aerial bombs and artillery. The Ukrainian General Staff said on Saturday that the situation on the front line was complex, with more than 170 war clashes reported in the past 24 hours, most of them in the east. Ukrainian officials say attacks on military facilities, warehouses and airfields in Russia would disrupt logistics and supplies for Moscow troops. It will also help in turning the war in favor of Ukraine. Since September, Ukraine has attacked several ammunition warehouses in Russia with Ukrainian-made long-range drones, according to Ukrainian security officials. (Reuters)
