Ukraine announced it struck a rocket and space centre in Russia's Samara region, a facility Kyiv says is used to produce components for ballistic missiles and space technology. Ukraine describes the site as a significant part of Moscow's missile program.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the same night saw additional strikes on Russia's Savasleyka air base, which Ukraine alleges houses aircraft used in missile attacks. An oil facility in Ust-Luga was also among the targets hit.
Russian authorities have not issued a detailed response to the strikes. Ukraine's long-range strikes have grown more frequent in recent weeks, with Kyiv presenting them as part of a broader strategy targeting Moscow's military-industrial infrastructure and energy revenues.
