In the Russian border city of Bryansk, an electronics factory and a railway station were again targeted by drone attacks yesterday afternoon. According to Governor Alexander Bogomas, Russian air defense intercepted at least three drones over or approaching the city. Two of the aircraft reportedly damaged the railway station and an industrial administration building when they crashed. According to Bogomas, no one was injured. The governor blamed Ukraine for the attack.
Ukraine: microelectronics factory
According to authorities and Russian media reports, Bryansk had already been attacked with drones the day before, including the railway station. The governor also spoke of an attack on an “administrative building of an industrial plant” where a fire broke out.
According to Ukrainian media reports, the industrial plant is a factory of one of the largest Russian microelectronics manufacturers. About 90% of the company’s production will be used for military purposes, he said. The factory was also reportedly the target of drone attacks in late August.
Russia has been waging a war of aggression against its neighboring country, Ukraine, for over a year and a half. As a result, repeated bombings occur on Russian territory, often in the border region. However, the number of casualties and damage are disproportionate to the consequences of the war in Ukraine.
