There were no injuries or serious damage reported, according to Russia.
Ukraine launched a drone attack on a factory that makes components for Russia’s military in Bryansk.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, both Russia and Ukraine have increasingly depended on drones to monitor enemy movements, direct weapons, and carry out strikes.
The pro-Kremlin Shot Telegram channel said enemy drones were destroyed on approach to the facility, one of the largest microelectronics plants. There were no injuries or serious damage, according to the pro-Russian social media post.
Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry for comment.
The wreckage of the downed drone slightly damaged the facility’s roof and fence.
The attack on the Kremniy EL plant, which employs almost 2,000 people, was carried out on Wednesday at about 02:30 a.m. The drones flew 10 minutes apart.
Five drones were intercepted over Bryansk Oblast in Russia overnight, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
In total, 35 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the Bryansk, Kursk, Rostov, Ryazan, and Kaluga regions and the Astrakhan region and the Krasnodar Territory this night and morning, according to the Russian defense ministry.
