Ukraine strikes missile battery plant in Yelets, Russia

A factory in Yelets, Russia, producing batteries for missiles was attacked on Sunday, October 25, killing a security guard and injuring a medic. This is the sixth strike on the facility. The Energia plant in Lipetsk Oblast was hit by multiple missiles, likely British Storm Shadows, according to OSINT analysts. Governor Igor Artamonov confirmed casualties and evacuation, while Ukrainian sources report at least two hits and major damage to production buildings. Energia is Russia's largest battery manufacturer, supplying power sources for missiles like Iskander, Zircon, and Kinzhal. The plant, founded in 1941, is under international sanctions, and neither Ukraine's General Staff nor Russia's Defense Ministry has commented.
