Ukrainian cruise missile hits weapons plant in Russia

Ukrainian forces struck an industrial site deep inside Russia on Saturday, which Ukraine and unofficial Russian news channels say was a stated-owned missile factory. The attack in Russia's Udmurt Republic left 11 people wounded.

Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck a key missile plant near the city of Votkinsk, using Ukrainian-made Flamingo cruise missiles, rather than drones.

This was echoed by an unofficial Russian news channel on Telegram, Astra, and the strike targeted the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, a major state defence enterprise. Of those injured, 3 people were hospitalised.

The attacked city is more than 1,400 kilometres from Ukraine, and the plant produces Iskander ballistic missiles, often used in strikes against Ukraine.
