Fire at Russia's Proton plant in Oryol after missile strike

A fire broke out at the Proton plant in the Russian city of Oryol following a missile attack overnight into Saturday, November 7, according to Russian media. The attack occurred after a missile danger alert was declared in the Oryol region. Regional governor Andrei Klychkov stated that production facilities at an enterprise in the Sovetsky district were "partially damaged" during the repelling of a massive missile attack, though he did not name the facility. The Proton plant produces semiconductor devices, LEDs, and electronic components used in Russian weaponry, including Iskander-M missiles and Pantsir-S1 systems. The plant was previously attacked on October 23, reportedly suffering critical damage to at least one workshop.
