Ukrainian forces launched a long-range strike against a Russian missile production facility deep within Russian territory, according to officials in Kyiv on Saturday.
The Ukrainian General Staff reported that their domestically-manufactured Flamingo missiles successfully targeted the facility during overnight operations in Votkinsk, a city situated in Russia’s distant Udmurtia region approximately 800 miles from the Ukrainian border.
According to military officials, the targeted facility manufactures both intercontinental ballistic missiles and short-range ballistic missiles for Russian forces. Ukrainian forces also conducted a separate strike against a gas processing facility located in Russia’s Samara region during the same operation.
The attacks represent some of the deepest strikes Ukrainian forces have conducted into Russian territory since the conflict began.
