Moscow, January 12 (Xinhua) — On January 9, the Russian Armed Forces struck the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant with an Oreshnik missile system, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Monday.
"According to information confirmed by several independent sources, the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant was disabled as a result of an attack by the Russian Armed Forces using the Oreshnik mobile ground-based missile system on the night of January 9," reads a statement published on the Russian Ministry of Defense's official Telegram channel.
As noted, this facility carried out repairs and maintenance of aircraft for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including F-16 and MiG-29 aircraft donated by Western countries. "The facility also produced long- and medium-range strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used for strikes against Russian civilian targets deep within Russian territory," the Russian Defense Ministry emphasized, specifying that the strike at Oreshnik hit production facilities, warehouses housing finished products (UAVs), and the infrastructure of the factory airfield.
Furthermore, it was reported that as part of this massive strike, which the Russian Ministry of Defense had previously described as a response to the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence, the Iskander operational-tactical missile system and sea-based Kalibr cruise missiles in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv struck the production facilities of two enterprises involved in the assembly of attack UAVs, as well as energy infrastructure facilities supporting the operation of Ukraine's military-industrial complex.
