The Ukrainian General Staff announced on Saturday that Ukrainian forces had carried out a missile attack targeting a Russian factory producing ballistic missiles in the remote Udmurtia region.
Kyiv explained that the facility manufactures several missile models, including short-range "Iskander" and intercontinental "Topol-M" missiles, noting that the factory is located in the city of Votkinsk, east of Moscow. It added in a statement via the Telegram app that the operation was carried out using domestically-made "Flamingo" missiles launched from ground-based platforms, confirming that the strike caused a fire inside the targeted site. In contrast, Alexander Breshalov, the governor of the Russian Udmurtia region, said that a site in the region was attacked overnight by drones, noting in a video clip he posted on Telegram that the attack caused material damage and injuries, without providing further details. Russia relies on its ballistic missiles to intensify its strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which has caused widespread power and heating outages affecting millions of residents during the winter. The Ukrainian army also reported that it had targeted a gas processing plant in the Samara region of Russia, while the Russian authorities in Samara have not issued any statement confirming the attack.
