· Security · Ukraine · Russia

Ukraine's military said Friday it hit three facilities involved in missile production across Russia overnight, including a factory in the Tver region making missile components and a centre for disassembling intercontinental ballistic missiles in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The strikes are part of Ukraine's campaign to degrade Russia's missile production. Meanwhile, a renewed Russian campaign of strikes on power and energy infrastructure has made some Kyiv residents contemplate leaving the capital as winter approaches. Ukraine is also increasingly developing all-robotic airborne assault systems.

Why it matters：Both sides are targeting infrastructure as winter nears, prolonging a war with growing civilian and energy consequences.

Key points

  • Ukraine hit a missile-component factory in Tver region.
  • It also struck an ICBM disassembly centre in Nizhny Novgorod.
  • Russian strikes on power infrastructure are pushing Kyiv residents to consider leaving.
