Ukraine Is Hunting Russia’s Missile Factories, Striking Key Links in the Chain. Here’s What It Has Hit

Aug 24, 2026 17:50

The Iskander-M is a Russian mobile short-range ballistic missile system designed to strike high-value targets behind the front line. Its launchers and support vehicles allow Russian units to relocate quickly and conduct missile strikes from dispersed positions.

Damage to a repair base can reduce the availability of launchers and support vehicles by disrupting maintenance and the return of damaged equipment to service. The General Staff did not disclose the extent of the damage or Russian losses from the strikes.

Days earlier, Ukraine struck a similar set of Russian maintenance and supply sites across the temporarily occupied east.

Strikes on October 10 and overnight into October 11 hit a military repair unit near Chystiakove, also known as Torez, and logistics facilities near Makiivka and Horodyshche. Russian troop concentrations near Purdivka, Lysychansk, and Irmino were also targeted.

Earlier on October 10, Ukrainian forces hit command posts in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions, an electronic warfare station in Russia's Bryansk region, and a repair base near Sukhodilsk.
