Ukrainian drones reportedly strike Russian fibre optics plant
Russian media reports indicate that an overnight attack occurred on the Optic Fiber Systems factory in Saransk, Russia. This city, located in the Republic of Mordovia, is roughly 7,000 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. The facility, which manufactures fibre optic cables, was reportedly targeted by several Ukrainian army drones. Recordings of the incident have surfaced online.
Despite efforts at negotiation between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine, hostilities continue on the front line. The Ukrainian and Russian armies also regularly target militarily significant sites.
This occurred last night, when an attack was executed on the Optic Fiber Systems factory in Saransk, Russia. This locality in the Mordovia region is approximately 7,000 kilometres from the Ukrainian border.
According to Russian media, the Ukrainian armed forces conducted the attack. The factory was hit by several drones. Residents of the region have shared recordings of the incident on social media.
In the video footage posted online, drones can be observed flying over the factory and striking specific targets. Following the attack, there was a large explosion and fire at the plant, which produces fibre optic cables used in controlling combat drones.
Local authorities also reported an attack on an industrial plant in Chapayevsk. Initial findings suggest that drones struck the Promsintez plant, which produces explosive materials for the Russian army, added Ukrainian blogger and former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Anton Herashchenko, reporting on the attack on another Russian factory.
At present, the Ukrainian army has not confirmed its involvement in the attack on Russian armaments facilities.
Many reports conveyed by Russian media and government representatives are likely untrue. Such reports may be elements of an information war on the part of the Russian Federation.
