Ukraine reportedly targets Russian cruise missile fuel plant in Tver Oblast
Ukraine's military launched an attack on Russia's Tver Oblast overnight on Oct. 9, reportedly targeting a Russian factory that manufactures fuel components for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles, Russian Telegram media channels reported.
Ukrainian forces reportedly carried out an attack on a Russian factory that produces fuel components for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles overnight on October 9, according to reports from Russian Telegram media channels. The attack occurred in Redkino, a town in Tver Oblast, where flashes of explosions and smoke were observed near a defense-industrial plant.
The extent of the damage remains unclear, and the Kyiv Independent has yet to confirm the reports. Ukraine's military has not yet issued an official statement on the alleged attack.
The Redkino Experimental Plant, primarily responsible for creating Decilin-M rocket fuel components and fuel additives for diesel and aviation kerosene, was hit by Ukrainian forces in February 2026. That attack resulted in the destruction of around 6,000 FPV (first-person-view) drones and their parts, according to the General Staff. The facility is currently subject to sanctions imposed by the U.S., the U.K., and various other nations.
Russia frequently deploys Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles to target Ukrainian cities, including during recent extensive missile strikes on Kyiv. While the specific weaponry employed in the reported attack remains undetermined, Ukraine has frequently utilized long-range drones to strike installations supporting Russia's war efforts.
