TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Ukrainian forces struck a major industrial site deep inside Russia's Udmurt region, the Ukrainian General Staff said on Saturday.
The attack was confirmed by local officials. "One of the republics facilities was attacked by drones" launched by Ukraine, regional head Alexander Brechalov said in a Telegram post.
The Ukrainian military said it used domestically produced Flamingo missiles to hit the plant, located about 1,400 kilometers (800 miles) from Ukraine.
Plant reportedly manufactured ballistic missiles
The Russian news Telegram channel Astra reported that the target was the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, a state-owned factory that produces Iskander ballistic missiles and nuclear-capable ICBMs.
Videos posted by residents show black smoke rising over the area and blown-out windows across Votkinsk. Russia temporarily closed several airports in the region following the attack.
The Ukrainian military also said that it hit a gas processing plant in Russia's Samara region.
The strike came days after US-brokered talks between Moscow and Kyiv ended Wednesday with no breakthrough, as the war's fourth anniversary nears.
The meetings in Switzerland were the third round organized by Washington, following earlier sessions in Abu Dhabi that officials called constructive but that yielded no progress.
