A large-scale Ukrainian attack struck industrial infrastructure in Russia’s southwestern Samara region Saturday, a Russian official said.
Ivan Noskov, head of the region's capital, Samara, said air defence forces had repelled a “massive” missile attack, with “localised damage” to the city’s industrial sites. He also said that medical assistance has been provided to those injured in the attack, but did not give further details.
Ukraine has stepped up its long-range aerial attacks on Russian military industries and energy facilities, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russians feel the consequences of the invasion, now in its fifth year.
