A massive fire destroyed a warehouse storing components for Shahed-136 drones in Russia’s Alabuga economic zone, according to Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence.
The warehouse contained 65 drone fuselages, engines, navigation systems, and thermal imaging cameras intended for the production of 400 Shahed-136 attack drones. The entire stock was destroyed in the fire, resulting in estimated losses of $16 million for Russia.
Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence called the fire “another blow to the military-industrial complex of terrorist Russia,” adding that all war crimes against Ukraine will face “fair retribution.”
