Russian drone strike causes major sunflower oil spill at facility in Mykolaiv region

On November 13, Ukrainian missile forces, specifically the Navy's Neptune coastal missile system, targeted three sites in Russia linked to drone operations, according to the General Staff. The missile strikes hit a production facility for tactical strike drones operated by Ionos LLC, a storage facility for Ionos drones in Rostov-on-Don, and a drone service center for Aero-Hit LLC, which repairs and maintains drones for the front.

Aero-Hit, a Russian manufacturer of Veles strike and reconnaissance FPV drones, has its production in Khabarovsk, while its service center is in Rostov-on-Don. The General Staff noted that striking production, storage, and service sites is equivalent to targeting the entirety of the drone chain. They added that some drones would not be produced, others were destroyed in storage, and damaged drones would be out of action for an extended period.

"Fewer Russian drones mean fewer attacks on our soldiers and civilians," the General Staff concluded. Earlier on November 8, Russian officials reported that a bridge connecting Rostov-on-Don to temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, forming part of the land corridor to occupied Crimea, had been damaged by Ukrainian FP-2 drones.
