Russian strikes hit YUMZ and Polymermash plants in Dnepropetrovsk, destroying drone parts workshops and NATO equipment upgrade facilities, sources report.

Reports from pro-Russian underground sources claim that overnight strikes targeted Ukraine’s military-industrial complex in Dnepropetrovsk Region.

Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian resistance in Nikolaev, said that Russian loitering munitions and missiles struck facilities involved in producing components for UAVs and missiles, as well as workshops upgrading NATO-supplied equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to data cited by RIA Novosti, the attacks hit the Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant (YUMZ), where seven explosions were reported. A workshop producing drone parts was destroyed. Several missiles also struck the Polymermash plant, which had been reinforcing Western armored vehicles by installing explosive reactive armor and welding anti-drone cages.

In addition, several Ukrainian depots on the left bank of the Dnieper were hit. Local sources reported secondary explosions as stored explosives and munitions detonated after the strikes.
