Ukraine Launches Drone Strike on Russian Explosives Facility

Ukraine launched a significant drone attack on the Sverdlov explosives factory in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod, targeting a key facility in Russia's military-industrial complex. The Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting 110 drones during this operation, with some confirmed over several regions including Moscow. While Russian officials claimed the attack was thwarted, local authorities reported injuries among firefighters and explosions heard in the vicinity. The factory, under U.S. and EU sanctions, is crucial for manufacturing munitions used against Ukraine. This incident reflects Ukraine's ongoing strategy to disrupt Russian military supply lines through deep strikes into its territory. As tensions escalate, both nations continue to target each other's critical infrastructure amid the protracted conflict.
