Investing.com -- Ukraine’s military conducted a drone strike Tuesday on a Russian facility that manufactures anti-aircraft systems, targeting a location deep inside Russian territory, Bloomberg reports.
The attack hit the Kupol plant in Izhevsk, a city in Russia’s Udmurtia Republic located in the Volga region, more than 1,300 kilometers (808 miles) from the Ukrainian border. According to Bloomberg’s citing sources in Kyiv familiar with the operation, the facility also produces attack drones.
This strike is part of Ukraine’s broader campaign targeting Russian defense industries with drone attacks, which aims to disrupt weapons production capabilities.
The incident occurs amid ongoing hostilities despite renewed diplomatic efforts. While Kyiv and Moscow resumed direct negotiations in May to work toward a peace agreement, Russia has not accepted calls from the United States and European nations for a ceasefire in the conflict, which has now entered its fourth year.
Russian forces have recently escalated their aerial campaign against Ukraine, launching a record 537 missiles and drones at seven Ukrainian regions on Sunday.
