Ukrainian strike on drone factory deep within Russian territory

Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) attacked a drone factory in the Russian region of Tatarstan. Analyst, journalist, and political scientist Jarosław Wolski commented on the matter. Daria Kaleniuk, director of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, also expressed her views.

"The Russians smartly positioned the Shahed factory more than 1,200 kilometres from Ukraine, beyond the reach of its known drones. The Ukrainians, demonstrating their usual ingenuity, repurposed a civilian light aircraft into a kamikaze drone which then flew and precisely struck the 'special economic zone' in Alabuga, Tatarstan," Jarosław Wolski, an analyst, journalist, and political scientist, shared on the X platform.

Daria Kaleniuk, the head of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, also commented on the situation. "Yes, we can. And we will target all military locations within Russia for as long as it takes to achieve victory," she stated on the X platform.

"HUR launched an attack on the Shahed factory in Tatarstan, situated over 1,000 kilometres from Ukraine," rbc.ua reported on Telegram.

Ukrainska Pravda shared a video on the X platform from Russian Telegram channels, capturing the moment the drone hit the factory.

"Drones targeted facilities in Yelabuga, Tatarstan, where Shaheds were reportedly being constructed," the accompanying text of the video noted.

The Tatarstan authorities, a part of the Russian Federation, announced strikes on facilities in Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk, leading to explosions.
