On the night of May 7, long-range SBU drones struck two military plants in the Russian rear — “Basalt” and “Splav”.
Babel was informed about this by sources in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
“Basalt” — Russiaʼs main defense enterprise for the production of weapons and ammunition for all branches of the armed forces — is located in Krasnoarmeysk, Moscow region. At least seven explosions were reported there, as well as a fire.
