Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s disinformation countermeasures center, said the strike hit the Typhoon instrument-making plant, which is under EU sanctions for producing weapons for the Russian military, including Bal-E and Rubezh-ME missile systems.
Likewise, Ukraine’s HUR military intelligence agency claimed responsibility for targeting Rosneft’s Kaluganefteprodukt oil depot, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing an anonymous source.
The Moscow Times could not independently verify the claims.
Russia’s military said its air defense systems destroyed 23 Ukrainian drones over the Kaluga region. Drones were also shot down over the Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions bordering Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Telegram news channels with links to Russian law enforcement agencies claimed that Ukraine fired U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at a military airfield in the Kursk region. There was no immediate confirmation of the reported missile strikes from either Kyiv or Moscow.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
