Ukraine said it carried out a long-range strike overnight on a Russian military-industrial facility in Volgograd, as Moscow launched a barrage of drones across Ukraine in another night of cross-border attacks.President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian FP-5 “Flamingo” missiles hit the Titan-Barrikady plant.“Every Russian defense facility that works for the war against Ukraine is a legitimate target for our long-range sanctions,” Zelenskyy wrote in a Telegram post on June 27.He said the missiles “successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady enterprise in Volgograd,” describing it as “a large industrial complex where the enemy manufactures artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including elements of missile launchers used to strike our people.”“A hit followed by a fire on the territory of the plant was recorded,” he added, thanking Ukraine’s defense forces “for their precision.”The Titan-Barrikady facility, in Volgograd’s Krasnooktyabrsky District, is associated with the production of artillery systems, specialized military equipment, and components for missile launch systems.Videos circulating online appeared to show explosions and smoke rising above the plant after the reported strike.
