Units of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the production buildings of the Atlant Aero plant, located in Taganrog, Rostov region, Russia.

"The SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center, together with units of the Ukrainian Navy, launched a strike on the production facilities of the Atlant Aero plant in Taganrog, Rostov region, Russia. The strikes resulted in a series of loud explosions and a fire. Atlant Aero is engaged in the full cycle of design, manufacture, and testing of Molniya-type strike and reconnaissance UAVs, as well as components for the Orion UAV for occupation forces," the SBU said on its Telegram channel.

It is noted that the destruction of the plant will reduce the volume of UAV production and weaken the technical capabilities of the occupiers to conduct reconnaissance and strike operations using drones.
