Ukrainian attack on the Russian space center in Samara and the base in Savaslejka

The State Rocket and Space Center CSKB-Progress is one of the leading Russian enterprises, the main supplier of, among others, launch vehicles for the Russian space program. It was established in 1996 as a result of the merger of the Central Specialist Design Bureau (CSKB) and the Samara Progress Plant. The company's headquarters is located in the city of Samara in the Samara Oblast, and this is where Ukraine struck.

Today we have significant new results from our deep strikes. In the Russian Samara region, one of the key enterprises within Roscosmos (Federal Space Agency - editor's note) was hit - CSKB-Progress, which dealt with, among others, electronics production. Flamingo missiles were used. Big achievement. The distance from our border is approximately 900 kilometers. Our long-range strikes also reached the Savaslejka air base, where fighters carrying Russian missiles are stationed, which strike our cities and villages - about 700 kilometers from Ukraine - wrote Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram and on the X platform.

Russia, on the other hand, attacked civilians once again that night. "As a result of the shelling, a 3-month-old boy was killed and 11 people were injured, including children aged 5 and 12," Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Regional Military Administration in Dnipropetrovsk, said in the morning.
