Ukraine strikes a key industrial site deep inside Russia

Ukrainian forces used domestically made Flamingo cruise missiles to damage key workshops and disrupt power, injuring 11 at Russia's strategic Votkinsk missile plant.

  • On Feb. 20, the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant was struck during a drone attack, with Ukrainian General Staff saying Flamingo cruise missiles hit the site and CyberBoroshno geolocating affected workshops on February 21.
  • The Votkinsk Plant is a strategic, state-owned defense enterprise producing Iskander-M missiles and ICBMs, expanding during the war by importing machinery and hiring thousands despite sanctions.
  • Residents posted videos showing black smoke and broken windows; Brechalov said `According to operational data, there are damages and casualties`, with 11 wounded and three hospitalized, local officials reported.
  • The strike disrupted power to a nearby military plant, and regional airports, including Izhevsk, suspended operations early Saturday, according to Russia’s civil aviation authority.
  • Located over 1,300 km from Ukraine, the Votkinsk Plant's strike shows Ukraine's long-range attacks, following a July 2025 Izhevsk weapons factory hit amid stalled peace talks in Switzerland.
