The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed on Saturday that its forces struck a fuel depot and a Fire Point facility in Kyiv. Fire Point is a Ukrainian defense company that manufactures warheads for the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, a domestically-produced ground-launched weapon with a reported range of up to 3,000 kilometers. The claim has not been independently verified; no damage or casualty details have been reported from Ukrainian sources.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Ukrainian Flamingo missile strikes on Russian targets. On July 24, Flamingo missiles reportedly struck the Artek military plant in Kirov. On June 27, President Zelensky announced a Flamingo strike on a weapons factory in Volgograd. The current claim, if confirmed, would represent a Russian strike on the production infrastructure of a weapon system that Ukraine has used extensively against targets inside Russia.
