        According to the General Staff, a hit on the facility was recorded, followed by a fire on the territory of the enterprise.

        The scale of the damage and the results of the strike are being clarified.

        JSC FNPC Titan-Barrikady is a full-cycle enterprise — from design to serial production.

        The plant produces self-propelled launchers and transporter-loader vehicles for the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system, which Russia regularly uses to strike Ukrainian cities.

        In addition, the enterprise produces launchers and ground-based units for the Topol-M and Yars strategic missile systems, as well as Msta-B and Msta-S large-caliber artillery howitzers.

        Since February 2024, the enterprise has been under sanctions imposed by the EU, and later by the United States, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Ukraine.

        Ukraine’s Defense Forces also struck a Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and gun system in Feodosia and the Petropavlovsk vehicle ferry near Kerch.

        According to the General Staff, the ferry was used by the enemy to support the military logistics of the Russian occupation army in Ukraine’s southern regions.

        In addition, Russian command posts were struck near Lyman Pershyi in Kharkiv region and Leninskoye in Russia’s Belgorod region.

        Two enemy UAV command posts in Luhove and Kamianske in Zaporizhzhia region were also hit.

        The results of the strikes are being clarified.
