Ukraine struck a Volgograd factory producing "Oreshnik" with five "Flamingos"
"Volgograd welcomes the seasonal migration of flamingos from Ukraine. To be continued," wrote Dzianis Shtylerman, head of the Ukrainian company that produces "Flamingo."
The head of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, Dzianis Shtylerman, reported that Volgograd was attacked by "Flamingo" cruise missiles. Local residents are publishing footage showing missile impacts on the "Titan-Barrikady" plant.
At least five missiles struck. Fires broke out.
Shtylerman published video footage, which allegedly shows the launch of five missiles. "Volgograd welcomes the seasonal migration of flamingos from Ukraine. To be continued," he wrote.
Local residents reported explosions in the city, which occurred around four in the morning local time. One video clearly shows a missile hitting an object and exploding.
Local authorities did not report the strikes. Earlier, "Rosaviatsiya" (Federal Air Transport Agency) warned about the closure of Volgograd airport.
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the enterprise in Volgograd is part of the state corporation "Roscosmos" and is the developer and manufacturer of the self-propelled launch vehicle for the Iskander-M tactical missile system, and the autonomous launch vehicle for the Topol-1 missile complex. They may also produce "Oreshnik," about whose production locations less is currently known.
This is the second known strike on Russian defense enterprises in the past few days. On June 22, Ukrainian missiles struck Voronezh, where a semiconductor device factory was damaged, and five people died.
