Ukrainian strikes hit Russian missile depot and drone factory
Ukrainian forces launched an attack on Russian territory, targeting a missile depot and a factory that produces freight drones. Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Centre for Countering Disinformation, announced that the attack occurred in the Belgorod region, close to the Ukrainian border.
"The EFKO factory was targeted, which officially engages in food production but in fact also manufactures freight drones used by the Russian army," Kovalenko stated on Telegram.
Kovalenko further reported a drone strike on the 13th Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Russian Ministry of Defence in the Novgorod region, approximately 420 miles from the Ukrainian border.

According to the statement, this arsenal houses artillery shells, Grad, Smerch, Uragan, Iskander missiles, as well as ammunition for the S-300, S-400 systems, and the Tor complex.
In response, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that 44 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight, including those over the Belgorod region.
