On Thursday night, the Ukrainian military targeted a major ammunition depot for the Russian Ministry of Defense's Main Missile Directorate located in Kotluban, Volgograd region. This retaliation is significant as this depot is reported to be one of the largest in Russia, and the strike was executed using Ukrainian-made 'Flamingo' missiles. Following the initial explosion, secondary explosions were observed, indicating possible extensive damage to the site.

In addition to the missile depot, the Ukrainian General Staff reported a drone attack that resulted in a fire at the 'Progress' aviation equipment and missile factory in Michurinsk, Tambov Oblast. Local authorities in Tambov have mentioned that the fire also affected a nearby supermarket, causing damage to the façade of the Michurinsk industrial technology college. This coordinated attack showcases Ukraine's strategic targeting of key military and industrial assets.

Furthermore, Ukrainian drones caused a fire at an oil refinery in Uhta, Komi Republic during the same night, indicating a broader strategy of targeting critical infrastructure within Russia's territories. As these events unfold, the implications for the ongoing conflict are significant, as Ukraine continues to demonstrate its capabilities and resolve to undermine Russian military operations.
