Ukrainian Drone and Missile Strikes Hit Dozens of Targets Across Russia
Ukrainian forces conducted a series of drone and missile strikes across Russia over the past week, targeting dozens of military and economic infrastructure objects, causing significant damage and fires. On November 7, Neptune cruise missiles struck the Proton-Electrotex plant in Orel, which produces components for aviation missiles and Iskander-M ballistic systems, triggering explosions and a major fire. The same day, a warehouse fire in Rostov-on-Don burned 8,000 square meters near the Almaz military plant, while drones hit an oil refinery in Saratov. Earlier strikes targeted refineries in Krasnodar Krai, Ryazan, and Yaroslavl, plus logistics hubs for Ozon and Wildberries. A record drone attack on November 3 forced the closure of Moscow's Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports, diverting flights to St. Petersburg. Strikes on the Samara oil station prompted Kazakhstan to suspend crude transit via the Atyrau-Samara pipeline, while an attack on a Kstovo refinery left nearby towns without power and heating.
