Ukrainian drones force suspension of Russian electronics factory
A damaged drone falls from the sky towards the wet ground near a large electronics factory emitting steam.
Work at an electronics factory in Russia's Chuvashia region, some 600 kilometres east of Moscow, was briefly suspended on Monday due to falling Ukrainian drones, local officials said.
"This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," regional governor Oleg Nikolayev wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no victims from the attack.
Ukraine regularly launches drone attacks on Russia in response to aerial bombardments by Moscow, which began a full-scale offensive into Ukrainian territory more than three years ago.
"Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory," said Nikolayev.
The VNIIR facility is one of the main factories producing electronic components in Russia.
A decision was taken to "temporarily suspend production to ensure the safety of employees", the governor added.
Two drones fell into fields in the region without causing any danger to people, Nikolayev said.
"The situation is entirely under control," he added.
Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 49 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Ukraine says Russia launched 479 drones in the war's biggest overnight drone bombardment
Russia launched 479 drones at Ukraine in the war 's biggest overnight drone bombardment, the Ukrainian air force said on Monday (June 9, 2025). Apart from drones, 20 missiles of various types were fired at different parts of Ukraine, according to the air force, which said the barrage targeted mainly central and western areas of Ukraine. Ukraine's air defences destroyed 277 drones and 19 missiles in mid-flight, an air force statement said, claiming that only 10 drones or missiles hit their target. It was not possible to independently verify the claim. Russia's aerial attacks usually start late in the evening and end in the morning, because drones are harder to spot in the dark. Russia has relentlessly battered civilian areas of Ukraine with Shahed drones during the more than 3-year war. The attacks have killed more that 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations. Russia says it targets only military targets.
