Russia Strikes Military Factories Across Ukraine
Offensive hits rocket and drone facilities in Kyiv as Moscow reports intercepting unmanned aircraft
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Thursday that it carried out large-scale attacks against military factories in Ukraine. The operations targeted rocket production units and drone assembly lines in the Kyiv region.
Local authorities confirmed explosions in the Ukrainian capital during the early hours. A drone struck a residential building in the Solomyanskyi district, leaving one woman dead and five others injured. The impact caused a fire in the nine-story structure.
In addition to the weapons factories, the Russian government stated it hit power substations in the Zhytomyr region. Further reports point to damage to civilian and energy infrastructure in the Rivne region, located in the northwest of Ukrainian territory.
Simultaneously, the Moscow government reported a Ukrainian drone offensive. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that five aircraft were shot down near the Russian capital. The Russian Ministry of Defense accounted for the destruction of 71 Ukrainian drones across different parts of the country throughout the night.
The rise in geopolitical tension increases risk aversion in global markets and may boost the search for safe-haven assets such as the dollar and Bitcoin.
