“This is a major industrial complex where the enemy manufactures artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launchers used to strike our people,” Zelenskyy said. “Every Russian defense facility that serves the war against Ukraine is a just target for our long-range sanctions.”

Andrey Bocharov, governor of the Volgograd region, confirmed the strike on Telegram, saying it resulted in one dead, a factory worker, and 11 others injured.

Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones struck several targets in and around Moscow, setting an oil refinery on fire and forcing all four of Moscow’s airports to temporarily suspend departures and arrivals.

Ukraine has also taken aim at Russian-occupied Crimea this week, with drones knocking out power in the Russian-occupied peninsula’s largest city, Sevastopol.
