Satellite imagery confirms damage from Ukrainian strikes on Samara defence plants

Satellite imagery has confirmed damage to industrial facilities in Russia’s Samara region following Ukrainian missile and drone strikes. The attacks targeted the Progress Rocket Space Centre, which manufactures Soyuz carrier rockets, and the adjacent Aviakor plant, responsible for repairing military aircraft. Regional Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishev reported a mass missile strike, while additional targets were reported across the Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, and Rostov regions.

On the ground, Ukrainian defense officials reported more than 250 combat engagements over a 24-hour period. Russian troops pressed attacks along the Lyman and Kostyantynivka sectors, making repeated attempts to breach Ukrainian defensive lines. Meanwhile, Russian forces expanded their area of control south of Dobropillia and maintained pressure near the Oskil River.
