Ukrainian forces reportedly strike Moscow Oblast weapons plant
Ukrainian forces struck a weapons plant in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, overnight on Oct. 22, monitoring channels reported.
Ukrainian forces reportedly launched an attack on a weapons plant located in Serpukhov, Moscow Oblast, on October 22. Monitoring channels disclosed that drones were followed by missiles during the strike, which was conducted against the 75th Arsenal. This facility, known for producing weapons and ammunition for the Russian army, also specializes in repairing Russian military equipment.
The targeted site has been sanctioned by Ukraine, the United States, and the European Union due to its involvement in Russia's war. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that around 630 drones were en route to Moscow Oblast, of which the majority were intercepted, resulting in 163 being destroyed as they approached the city of Moscow.
Two individuals sustained injuries in the Voronovskoye settlement, an administrative part of Moscow, as a consequence of the attack. However, the reports pertaining to the incident in Lipetsk, another Russian city, could not be independently verified by the Kyiv Independent.
