Ukrainian drones hit Russian weapons production sites, Kyiv says

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's military said on Wednesday it struck several Russian weapon production sites during a major overnight drone attack that Moscow said its air defences had repelled.

Ukrainian drones in May 2025 carried out a series of strikes on Russian factories producing weapons and electronics.

According to sources linked to Ukrainian intelligence and information from the General Staff of Ukraine, the drones hit the assembly and equipment halls of the factory, causing a fire. The Raduga is part of the Russian corporation Takticheskoye Raketnoye Vorozhenie and is responsible for the production of various types of cruise missiles, including the Kh-101/555, Kh-69 and Kh-59MK models, which were used to strike targets in Ukraine.
