Ukraine Claims Drone Attack on Russia's Orenburg Helium Facility
Ukraine claimed a strike on a key helium plant in Russia amid intensified attacks on energy infrastructure this month.
Ukrainian military intelligence drones struck the plant located close to Orenburg, at some 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) from the nation's border with Russia, according to a Ukrainian official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. The facility produces a critical component for missiles, space and aviation industries, said the official, who didn't give more details on possible damage.
