UKRAINE, ROSTOV-ON-DON, Nov. 13 — At night, Ukrainian Neptun missiles attacked three objects related to the production and launch of Russian drones in Rostov-on-Don, the General Staff of Ukrainian forces reported.

“Every night, Russian drones fly toward Ukrainian cities, military positions, and energy infrastructure. Some of them are manufactured, stored, and repaired in Rostov-on-Don,” the General Staff said.

Ukrainian missiles hit Ionos limited liability company, a manufacturer of tactical Russian drones, and its storage facilities.

Ukraine also attacked the LLC Aero-Hit, which the Russian army uses to repair and service drones for the frontline.

The General Staff added that Aero-Hit is a Russian producer of attack and intelligence Russian first-person view (FPV) drones called Veles. The company’s manufacturing facility is located in Khabarovsk, over 8,673 kilometers (5,389 miles) from Rostov-on-Don, where its service center is located.

“This attack has an impact on the entire Russian supply chain at once. Some drones will not be manufactured, some were destroyed by fire, and the damaged drones will not be returning to the frontline for a long time. Fewer Russian drones mean fewer attacks on our soldiers and civilians,” the General Staff said.

Yury Slyusar, the governor of the Rostov-on-Don oblast, confirmed the attack on the region and said that a warehouse caught fire as a result of drone debris falling in one of the Rostov-on-Don districts.
