Russian authorities, including the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Russian military, have announced that they struck Ukrainian missile production facilities, effectively thwarting Ukraine's efforts to produce the "Sapsan" ballistic operational-tactical missile systems. These missiles were reportedly intended for deep strikes into Russian territory, with a range that could reach Moscow and Minsk. The FSB released a map illustrating the potential reach of the Sapsan missiles if launched from areas controlled by Kyiv. The development of these missile systems was reportedly supported by NATO representatives and Germany, according to Russian sources. This action marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, targeting Ukraine's missile manufacturing capabilities.
