Strike on Russia's Proton plant in Oryol disrupts missile component supply

A strike hit the Proton plant in Oryol, Russia, which supplies electronic components for Russian weapons, causing explosions and a large smoke column over the city. Local residents reported at least four explosions, and a rocket alert was declared beforehand. The ATESH partisan group says the strike occurred during a worker shift change, while Exilenova+ claims Storm Shadow cruise missiles were used. The Proton plant specializes in optoelectronics and semiconductors. According to ATESH, it supplies components for Russian missiles like the Iskander-M and Pantsir-S1 systems. At least one production workshop was reportedly destroyed.
