Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo missiles reportedly hit a military facility in Cheboksary, in Russia’s Chuvash Republic, overnight on June 10. The plant is said to be involved in producing components used in drones and missile systems for the Russian military. President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed that Ukrainian long-range strikes were carried out against Russian military infrastructure.

In comments posted on X, Zelensky described the attacks as part of continued Ukrainian strikes on military and energy-related targets inside Russia.

The Cheboksary facility strike was part of a wider wave of attacks reported across multiple regions. These also included the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara Oblast, located over 900 kilometers from the front line, as well as two separate oil infrastructure sites in Vladimir Oblast, roughly 700 kilometers away, according to Ukrainian statements.

Details on the scale of damage at the individual sites remain unclear for now, and independent verification of the full impact has not yet been provided. Russian authorities have not released a detailed public assessment of the reported strikes at the time of writing.
