Consequences of the attack on Tatarstan
The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) speaker, Andriy Yusov, said on the telethon air that the attack on the plant in Tatarstan was caused by "good flying objects" that flew into several military facilities in Tatarstan.
However, he said that the DIU would not comment on which drones they were.
According to preliminary information, the "Shahed" assembly plant was affected. Production facilities were significantly destroyed, and the continuation of the enterprise's work was complicated.

The day before, Yusov refused to officially confirm or deny the DIU's or SSU's involvement in the attack.
But we see that "blasts" and "explosions" continue on the territory of the aggressor state, they continue precisely on military facilities directly involved in the genocidal war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. We can state that in these events weapons and means of foreign production of our partners are not used. This is a fact.
