Long-range Ukrainian drones struck deep inside Russian territory, hitting a major military-linked chemical plant in the Perm region and critical oil infrastructure at the Novorossiysk Black Sea export hub, officials said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike on the Metafrax Chemicals facility, located over 1,700 kilometers (1,050 miles) from the border, stating that production at the site—which supplies essential components for Russian aircraft, drones, and missile engines—has been completely halted. While Russian regional authorities reported that several unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted with limited casualties, the depth and economic scale of the attacks signal a significant escalation, exposing vulnerabilities in Moscow's internal air defenses and shifting the conflict's focus directly toward Russia’s industrial and economic lifelines. #ukrainewar #russiainvasion #dronestrike #zelensky #militarynews #ukrainedrone #russiarealities #geopolitics #breakingnews #warupdates In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
