Ukrainian Drone Strike Disrupts Internet and Hits Key Russian Electronics Facility Near Moscow

Ukrainian drones launched a significant overnight airstrike, hitting a Russian military electronics facility and causing disruptions to mobile internet services near Moscow, officials reported early Wednesday.

Andrei Klychkov, the Governor of the Oryol region, stated that a “large-scale enemy drone attack” struck the town of Bolkhov, located approximately 200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, and inflicted damage on the Bolkhovsky Semiconductor Devices Plant.

This facility, which manufactures components for Russia’s electronic warfare systems, is subject to sanctions imposed by the U.S. and Ukraine. Klychkov confirmed that there were no injuries reported.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed it had intercepted and destroyed 159 Ukrainian drones across nine regions, including Moscow.

According to the Telegram news channel Astra, residents in the Moscow, Vladimir, and Lipetsk regions experienced mobile internet disruptions during the attacks. Lipetsk region Governor Igor Artamonov mentioned on Telegram that the military opted to temporarily suspend mobile internet services for security purposes, and access would be restored as soon as the situation permitted.

The drone strikes occurred while the Kremlin announced that President Vladimir Putin was visiting the Kursk region, though it was not immediately clear if his visit took place at the same time as the airstrikes.

In related news, Ukraine’s national guard reported that six soldiers were killed and at least ten others were injured due to a Russian ballistic missile strike at a training site in the Sumy border region. The Russian Defense Ministry had indicated on Tuesday evening that this site was its target.

Military Court Sentences 8 to Life in Prison Over Crimean Bridge Bombing Текст: A Russian military court on Thursday sentenced eight men to life in prison over the 2022 bombing of the Crimean Bridge, a key symbol of Russia’s claim to the peninsula it annexed in 2014. The Oct. 8, 2022, blast killed five people and badly damaged a section of the bridge. Russian authorities said explosives had been hidden inside rolls of plastic film that were shipped from Odesa through Bulgaria, Armenia and Georgia using falsified paperwork. Moscow accused Ukrainian security services of orchestrating the attack, alleging that a Ukrainian agent coordinated the movement of the explosives. Kyivtook responsibilityfor the bombing nearly a year later, while insisting that those arrested in Russia had been unaware that they were transporting explosives. Russia’s Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-DonsaidThursday that the defendants were found guilty of carrying out a deadly “terrorist act” and of illegally acquiring weapons as part of an organized criminal group. Two were also convicted of smuggling explosives. All eight defendants had denied the charges against them. The trial began earlier this year and was held behind closed doors. After the sentencing on Thursday, Oleg Antipov, a transportation company CEO and one of the defendants,insistedthe entire group was innocent and said they had cooperated fully with law enforcement officials during the investigation into the bridge bombing. “Not a single person testified against us. Every witness says we’re innocent. All the evidence says we’re innocent. All 116 volumes [of the case] say we’re innocent. Show people the truth,” Antipov said in a video published by the independent news outlet Mediazona. The Memorial human rights groupdesignatedall eight men as political prisoners, arguing that their cooperation with investigators indicates they had no links to Ukrainian intelligence services. “All of them insist they were simply doing their regular work and had no knowledge that explosives were hidden in the cargo,” Memorial said in a statement. The Crimean Bridge, completed in 2018, stretches 19 kilometers (12 miles) across the Kerch Strait and has served as a crucial logistics route for Russian forces amid the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted the bridge since February 2022.
