Russia Claims Strike on Ukraine's Flamingo Missile Plant

Russia's Defense Ministry said its forces struck a facility allegedly producing Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missiles and a major bridge in Kyiv during a large-scale overnight attack on November 6–7.

The ministry identified the Meridian plant in the Ukrainian capital as a production site for Flamingo cruise missiles, claiming it was among several military-industrial targets hit in the operation.

The reported strike on the plant has not been independently verified, and Ukrainian authorities have not confirmed that Flamingo missile production facilities were damaged.

Moscow also said its forces targeted Kyiv's Northern Bridge, alleging that Ukrainian troops used the crossing to transport weapons, military equipment and vehicles.

Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed that the bridge sustained damage during the attack, affecting its road surface, trolleybus infrastructure and power lines.

Russia's Defense Ministry further claimed that strikes damaged a power plant, an electrical substation and an ammunition production facility in the Kyiv region.

It also reported hitting an electrical substation in the Zhytomyr region and a cargo vessel in the Black Sea that Moscow alleged was transporting military equipment and dual-use goods to Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials separately confirmed damage to energy infrastructure following the overnight missile and drone attacks.

The strikes come as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine's transport and energy networks ahead of winter, while both countries prepare for another round of US-backed peace negotiations.

The extent of damage to the alleged missile production facility and the Black Sea cargo vessel remains independently unverified.
