On the night of July 3, an incident occurred in the Lipetsk region of the Russian Federation when drones were used to strike the 'Energia' factory. This factory, located in the city of Yelets, specializes in the production of batteries for aviation bombs and missiles for the Russian Armed Forces.

Propagandists acknowledged that the target of the attack was the factory itself, but claimed that the fire only broke out in the parking lot area, the publication informs.

It was noted that earlier the Ukrainian General Staff warned that the cessation of the activities of PJSC 'Energia' could negatively impact the supply of certain military equipment and weapons of the Russian troops with the necessary power elements.

This is not the first case of an attack on objects of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. On July 1, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the 'Kupol' factory in Izhevsk, which specializes in the production of anti-aircraft missile systems for the Russian army. This operation was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine in cooperation with other defense structures.

According to the General Staff, the objective of the operation was related to reducing the potential of the Russian air defense and the importance of the manufacturer for the military purposes of the Russian army.

In summary:
As a result of the drone attack on the 'Energia' factory and the fire on the site, the production of batteries for aviation bombs and missiles of the Russian Armed Forces was affected. This event fits into the overall context of tension at the border between Ukraine and Russia, which is accompanied by mutual attacks on objects of the military-industrial complex.
