According to SF, Russia launched two waves of missile and drone attacks targeting the Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions of Ukraine, causing significant damage.
The first attack targeted Zaporozhye. Videos released on social media showed large explosions occurring in an industrial area housing factories belonging to Motor Sich and Ivchenko-Progress.
Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We with Russia movement, later confirmed that at least the Motor Sich plant had been hit by a missile.
“According to preliminary information, the explosions occurred in the city of Zaporozhye, which is temporarily occupied by Ukrainian forces. The type of missile used in this attack was the Iskander. At least, the Motor Sich industrial complex was attacked,” Rogov shared on his Telegram channel.
Other Russian sources and Ukrainian media reported that the attack on Zaporozhye was carried out using Iskander-K ground-launched cruise missiles.
The second wave of attacks targeted Kharkiv. Videos circulating online showed a large fire and secondary explosions near the city following the attack. This suggests the target was an ammunition depot.
Later, Russian sources reported that the attack destroyed a large ammunition depot belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This depot contained ammunition for the Czech-made RM-70 Vampir multiple rocket launchers. Ukrainian media reported that the attack caused several casualties.
Kyiv forces revealed that the attack was carried out using Kh-101/555 air-launched cruise missiles and Geran-1/2 suicide drones.
The attacks on Zaporozhye and Kharkiv may have been carried out by the Russian military in response to a large-scale drone strike by Ukraine targeting five regions in Russia early on April 5.
Russia's attacks on two targets in the Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions were aimed at weakening Ukraine's ability to attack Russian territory. Motor Sich is a factory that produces engines for drones and cruise missiles, sometimes used in attacks against Russia, and RM-70 missiles that are frequently fired across the border.
