War in Ukraine: Stay updated with our live coverage

"Despite the strategic placement of the Shahed factory over 745 miles from Ukraine, beyond the reach of its known drones, Ukraine showcased its ingenuity by retrofitting a civilian aircraft into a kamikaze drone. This modified aircraft successfully struck the 'special economic zone' in Alabuga, Tatarstan," Jarosław Wolski noted on the X service.

Daria Kaleniuk, director of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, reinforced Ukraine's resolve, stating, "Yes, we can. And we will continue to target military objectives within Russia for as long as it takes to achieve victory." She also shared her thoughts on the X service.

Ukrainska Pravda, citing Russian Telegram channels, shared a video capturing the exact moment the drone hit the factory on the X platform.

The footage highlighted the attack on facilities in Yelabuga, Tatarstan, where Shahed drones were reportedly assembled, according to the accompanying text.
