Open-source intelligence (OSINT) projects report that the Proton plant in the Russian city of Oryol (Orel) has been struck. The facility makes electronic components used in several Russian weapons systems, including Iskander operational-tactical missiles. The information comes from OSINT projects, and the report remains unconfirmed.
According to the Euromaidan Press headline, the strike was carried out with Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The source text gives no further details, so the extent of the damage, any casualties and whether production at the plant has been disrupted are not known.
If confirmed, the report would indicate that Ukraine is targeting the supply chain of Russia's defense industry, not only the front line. Such targets matter because electronic components are essential to missile production.
