Russia claims major strike on Ukrainian factories

Russia says it launched a major overnight strike against military factories in Ukraine. The operation is part of Russian strikes against infrastructure linked to Ukraine’s war effort, according to Russian authorities.

Russia claims a major strike against Ukrainian industrial facilities, a day after several Russian attacks targeted the country. The Russian Defence Ministry says it used precision weapons and drones against targets linked to Ukraine’s defence industry, The Citizen reports.

The claim comes as Russia struck 14 Ukrainian regions with 130 drones on 5 November and a Russian strike in Kyiv killed one woman and wounded seven on 12 November. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said on 12 November that the Starshield network was disrupting the Ukrainian front, according to articles published on these events.
