The strike could complicate the production of components for cruise and ballistic missiles that the Russian military uses to attack Ukrainian cities.
The General Staff stressed that Ukraine's Defence Forces continue to strike facilities that sustain Russia's military and economic potential.
The agency said Ukraine carries out such operations in accordance with its right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, with the aim of weakening Russia's military capabilities and ending its armed aggression.
As Rubryka reported, on the night of November 7, Ukraine's Defence Forces attacked several targets in Russia. The Saratov oil refinery was hit, a large fire broke out in Rostov-on-Don following explosions, and a strike was recorded near the Proton plant in Oryol, which manufactures equipment for Russia's military-industrial complex.
Explosions were heard in Oryol early in the night. Local residents reported a missile attack, while the Exilenova+ Telegram channel pointed to a possible strike on the Proton plant. According to Dnipro Osint ⟨Harbuz⟩, a fire broke out near building No. 48 on the plant's premises. Its coordinates are 52.984779° 36.056301°.
