Ukraine's Flamingo Missile Strikes Wotkinsk Missile Plant Deep Inside Russia, Imagery Shows Damage

Independent assessments have yet to verify how the reported strike affects Russia's missile output.

Overview

  • Ukraine's General Staff said a domestically built FP-5 Flamingo hit the Wotkinsk facility used for ballistic systems including Yars, Bulava, Iskander‑M and Kinzhal.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the missiles flew about 1,400 km and that all launched projectiles reached their targets.
  • Satellite images shared by open-source groups show a large roof breach of roughly 30 by 24 meters and signs of fire damage at one building on the site.
  • Regional officials in Udmurtia reported 11 injured with three hospitalized and confirmed an attack on a local facility without naming it.
  • Russia's Defence Ministry reported destroying Flamingo launch ramps and downing drones but did not acknowledge a strike on the Wotkinsk plant, and experts say the broader impact depends on damage extent and Ukraine's production capacity.
