Ukraine's military says it hit three missile facilities in Russia
Ukraine said the strikes targeted facilities tied to missile fuel and launch systems, part of a broader effort to weaken Russia's military-industrial base.
- On Friday, October 9, 2026, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck three Russian facilities in the Tver and Nizhny Novgorod regions, targeting sites linked to missile production, rocket fuel manufacturing, and launch infrastructure.
- The strikes focused on degrading Russia's long-range missile supply chain, specifically targeting the Redkino Experimental Plant, which produces Decilin-M fuel for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles.
- Regional officials reported one serviceman killed in Nizhny Novgorod, where strikes hit the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Elimination Center near Surovatikha and the Barmin Research Institute, causing fires and evacuations.
- Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces intercepted 505 drones across 19 regions, though regional officials confirmed infrastructure damage, including 26 drones intercepted over Kaluga and injuries to civilians.
- Expanding the campaign beyond traditional military sites, Ukrainian drones struck Yandex data centers, while the Yamalo-Nenets region now offers $12,000 to mobile fire groups for every drone destroyed.
