Satellite imagery confirms damage to aerospace manufacturing facilities in Samara as heavy fighting continues along the eastern front.

Satellite imagery has revealed the impact of recent aerial strikes on Russian aerospace facilities in Samara, showing structural damage to workshops at the Progress Rocket Space Centre and the adjacent Aviakor aviation plant. The industrial complex, which manufactures Soyuz launch vehicles and services military aircraft including Tu-95 bombers, was targeted during a wave of long-range attacks that prompted air defence activations across western Russia.

Concurrently, intense ground fighting persisted across the eastern front in Ukraine, where military commanders recorded more than 250 daily engagements. Russian forces pressed forward with offensive operations in the Pokrovsk and Lyman sectors, seeking to expand footholds south of Dobropillia and sever Ukrainian defensive positions along the Oskil River.
