"The EFKO factory, which officially deals with food production but in reality also produces cargo drones used by the Russian army, was attacked," Kovalenko wrote on Telegram.

Kovalenko also reported a drone attack on the 13th Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Russian Ministry of Defence in the Novgorod region, about 680 kilometres from the border with Ukraine.

Blow to the missile stockpile

According to the statement, this arsenal stores artillery missiles, Grad, Smierch, Uragan, and Iskander rockets, as well as ammunition for the S-300 and S-400 systems and the Tor complex.

In response, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that 44 Ukrainian drones were destroyed overnight, including those over the Belgorod region.
