Throughout October 2026, Ukraine’s Defence Forces carried out strikes on facilities belonging to Russia’s military-industrial complex, aviation and strike-drone infrastructure.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this.
In particular, on 25 October and on the night of 26 October, Ukrainian units struck the Energia plant in the city of Yelets, Lipetsk Region, Russia. A fire broke out in a workshop where power-supply components for weapons are manufactured. According to the General Staff, the enterprise produces batteries for planning and guidance modules for aerial bombs, Iskander-M missiles and sea-launched cruise missiles.
On the night of 9 October, they struck infrastructure at the Redkino Experimental Plant in Tver Region. The enterprise manufactures components of the “Detsilin-M” fuel used for Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles.
On 23 October, JSC Proton-Elektroteks in Oryol was hit. According to the General Staff, the main microchip production workshop was destroyed, and the building and the company’s servers were damaged. The plant produces modules for S-71 “Kover” cruise missiles and switch-inverters for Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and also takes part in the production of the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system.
On 24 October, production infrastructure at the Tolyattikauchuk plant was damaged, and on 26 October – the Yefremov Synthetic Rubber Plant and the Voronezhsintezkauchuk enterprise. The synthetic rubbers produced there are used to manufacture solid rocket propellant.
On 9 October, they struck infrastructure at the Centre for the Elimination of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the area of Surovatikha, Nizhny Novgorod Region. The aim of the operation was to weaken the capabilities of Russia’s military-industrial complex to produce explosives and rocket propellant.
On 16 October, Ukrainian units struck the production and warehouse building of the Roboavia enterprise in Rostov Region. It develops and manufactures drones for the Russian army.
On the night of 28–29 October, in the area of Navlya, Bryansk Region, they struck strike-drone infrastructure. A Geran drone storage facility, a drone port and a fuel and lubricants depot were hit.
Also in October, the Defence Forces attacked two Russian military airfields. On the night of 15 October, at the Borisoglebsk airfield in Voronezh Region, six Su-34 fighter-bombers were hit. And on 29 October, a strike by Neptune coastal missile systems of the Ukrainian Navy at the Marinovka airfield in Volgograd Region destroyed two such aircraft.
Another target was the Federal State Enterprise Kombinat Kamensky in Rostov Region. On the night of 31 October, it was hit in a combined strike using attack drones and Neptune missile systems.
A fire at a finished-goods warehouse and damage to four production workshops have been confirmed. The enterprise manufactures solid rocket propellant for munitions used by the Uragan, Smerch and Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems, as well as for other missile systems and air-delivered weapons.
The General Staff stressed that the Defence Forces continue to strike facilities that sustain Russia’s military potential. It noted that these actions are carried out within Ukraine’s right to self-defence, guaranteed by Article 51 of the UN Charter.
