Russian forces struck a facility in Ukraine that Moscow says was used to produce and store components for FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, according to a report from Russian state news agency TASS.
The target identified in the report is the Kyiv Cardboard and Paper Mill, which TASS says had been repurposed to support manufacturing and storage linked to the Flamingo missile program.
The Flamingo is a Ukrainian-developed cruise missile that has featured in Ukraine's efforts to expand its domestic long-range strike capabilities during the ongoing war with Russia.
TASS did not provide independent verification details beyond attributing the information to Russian military sources, and Ukrainian officials have not issued a public response to the specific claims regarding the Kyiv Cardboard and Paper Mill at the time of this report.
Strikes on industrial sites described as linked to weapons production have featured regularly in Russian military reporting throughout the war, as Moscow has sought to target Ukraine's domestic defense manufacturing capacity.
The claims could not be independently verified by other news organizations at the time of publication.
