"The EFKO factory, which officially focuses on food production but in reality also produces cargo drones used by the Russian army, was attacked," Kovalenko wrote on Telegram.
Kovalenko also reported a drone attack on the 13th Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Russian Ministry of Defense in the Novgorod region, about 423 miles from the Ukraine border.

According to the statement, this arsenal houses artillery missiles, Grad, Smierch, Uragan, and Iskander rockets, as well as ammunition for the S-300 and S-400 systems and the Tor complex.
In response, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that 44 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight, including some over the Belgorod region.
