Ukrainian forces struck drone factories in Russia, including Atlant Aero in Taganrog, which makes attack and reconnaissance drones with guided bomb capabilities.

The attacks caused fires in production lines and warehouses, leading to injuries and major infrastructure damage, according to Russian reports.

This follows intense Russian drone barrages on Ukrainian cities, like 236 drones, where two-thirds were downed, turning drone plants into direct battlegrounds in a tech attrition war.
