Russian Drone Strikes Kill, Injure Workers, Civilians Udmurtia, Kryvyi Rih, Kharkiv

A Ukrainian drone strike targeted an industrial plant in Izhevsk, Russia, resulting in fatalities and serious injuries, with reports indicating at least three killed and multiple wounded. The attack caused a fire at the facility, as confirmed by the regional governor of Udmurtia. In retaliation, Russia has deployed drones from the Chernika series, including the Chernika-1 and the more advanced Chernika-2, which feature extended operational ranges, heavier warheads, and terminal guidance systems making them difficult to counter. Russia has used these drones extensively, including recent strikes on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. Meanwhile, Russian drone attacks have also targeted civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, including a strike near a recruitment center in Kryvyi Rih, injuring three civilians and damaging property despite safety measures that prevented casualties among military and staff personnel. Emergency services continue to respond to these attacks, highlighting the ongoing drone warfare and its impact on both military and civilian targets in the conflict.
