#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian forces struck a Russian defense industry facility in the southern Russian city of Taganrog overnight on April 19, the General Staff confirmed.
The targeted site was the Atlant-Aero plant, which develops and manufactures strike and reconnaissance drones for the Russian military. A fire broke out at the facility following the strike.
According to the General Staff, the company produces Molniya-type drones and components for the Orion UAV, which can carry up to 250 kilograms of payload, including guided aerial bombs and missile systems.
The strike is expected to reduce Russia’s capacity to produce drones and weaken its ability to carry out attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
In addition, Ukrainian forces hit an ammunition depot near the village of Trudove in occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as well as logistics warehouses in the areas of Mangush, Topolyne, and Mariupol in Donetsk Oblast.
Fuel storage tanks were also struck near Novopoltavka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
