Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a missile strike against the Proton electronics factory in Orel, Russia. While local authorities confirmed a missile threat, the use of Iskander missiles and specific damage to the military-industrial facility remain partially confirmed or emerging claims.

Both Russia and Ukraine have intensified strikes on critical infrastructure. Russia has conducted multiple missile strikes on Ukrainian power plants, causing significant damage and halting electricity production, further straining the energy grid ahead of winter. Concurrently, Ukraine has launched deep strikes against Russian military-industrial targets, including the Proton electronics plant in Orel and a weapons plant in Moscow Oblast, indicating an expanding reach and intent to disrupt Russian defense production.
