RUSSIAN missiles destroyed a Ukrainian factory making parts for Turkish drones in the eastern city of Zaporizhia, one of the region’s most important industrial regions today.

Three Kaliber cruise missiles struck the Motor Sich plant in the early hours of the morning as Russia aimed at neutralising Ukrainian military capabilities. 

Workshops at the factory were building some 30 AI-450t engines for the Turkish Akinci heavy attack drone, according to reports.
