Ukrainian strikes on #Russia: #Ukraine claims it has successfully struck a Russian ammunition factory and an oil terminal located in occupied #Crimea.
Based on recent reports from October 6, 2025, Ukraine has claimed responsibility for a large-scale drone attack targeting Russian military-industrial facilities. [1, 2]
Strikes confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff:Y. M. Sverdlov Plant: An explosives and ammunition factory in Dzerzhinsk, in Russia’s western Nizhny Novgorod region, was struck.
This facility is a major producer of high explosives and various munitions, and the strike reportedly caused numerous explosions and a large fire.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, this is Russia’s sole significant producer of RDX and HMX explosives.Marine Oil Terminal: An oil terminal located in the occupied Crimean city of Feodosia was hit, sparking a large fire. This terminal is a critical facility used to transfer oil and petroleum products for Russian forces.
Ammunition depot: An ammunition depot belonging to Russia’s 18th Combined Arms Army was struck in Crimea. [3, 5, 6, 7, 8]Russia’s response:
Russian authorities acknowledged a major Ukrainian drone attack across 14 Russian regions and occupied Crimea but provided few details.
Russian air defenses claimed to have shot down 251 Ukrainian drones, one of the biggest drone barrages since the war began.
The governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, claimed that air defenses repelled an attack near the Sverdlov plant and that no industrial facilities were damaged. [2, 9, 10, 11]Further context:
These strikes are part of a wider campaign by Ukraine targeting Russia’s military logistics and energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities contributed to domestic fuel shortages in August.
The intensified strikes are taking place as Russia has also increased its own missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. [2, 6, 10, 12, 13]AI responses may include mistakes.
