Summary
Zelensky said Ukraine used FP-5 Flamingo missiles early Wednesday to strike a military plant in Cheboksary and the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara, more than 900 kilometers from the front.
He cast the attack as part of Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions” campaign aimed at degrading Russia’s military production base and energy sector.
The Cheboksary target was identified by ASTRA as the VNIIR-Progress plant, linked to Kometa antenna systems for drones and precision-guided weapons and to satellite-navigation components.
Russian authorities reported one of the war’s largest coordinated aerial assaults, saying air defenses destroyed 326 Ukrainian drones across 20 regions and 12 near Moscow, while not acknowledging missile interceptions.
Fires were reported at two infrastructure sites in the Vladimir region, and the strikes fit a broader Ukrainian push to disrupt Russian fuel, logistics and defense manufacturing deep behind the front.
