In the early hours of February 21, Ukrainian military units launched strikes against significant facilities within Russia’s military-industrial complex and logistics network. This operation was confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the General Staff, Ukrainian forces utilized FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missiles to attack the Votkinsk Plant located in Votkinsk, Udmurt Republic, Russia. Reports indicate that a fire broke out on the premises, with details regarding its extent still being assessed.
The Votkinsk Plant is known for producing intercontinental ballistic missiles, including the RS-24 “Yars” and its variants, as well as the R-30 “Bulava” missiles designed for Borei-class submarines. Additionally, the plant manufactures missiles for the Iskander-M system and the aviation complex “Dagger,” as reported by the General Staff.
Ukrainian defense forces also targeted the Neftyeghorsk gas processing plant in the Samara region of Russia, which plays a crucial role in supplying the Russian military. A fire was also reported at this facility, with its scale currently being verified.
Furthermore, in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian forces struck a fuel and lubricants storage site and a drone manufacturing workshop. In Polohy, Zaporizhzhia, they targeted a logistics supply depot.
Ukrainian military operations on February 21 focused on critical Russian military facilities, including missile production and gas processing plants. These strikes reflect ongoing tensions and military engagements between Ukraine and Russia.
