Russia bombs US factory in Ukraine

Russia struck an American business with cruise missiles overnight in one of the largest aerial attacks of the war so far, Ukraine has said.

The Ukrainian air force said some 574 drones and 40 missiles were fired overnight, primarily targeting western regions of the country – far from the battlefield’s front line in the east and south of the country.

The strikes killed one person and injured 15 more and struck a “major American electronics manufacturer”, according to Andrii Sybiha, Ukraine’s foreign minister.

Video footage showed a large fire at the premises of Flex Ltd, a multinational firm headquartered in Texas.

"It seems like there is no effort from the world to stop this war," Zelenskyy added. "A response is needed to this. There is still no signal from Moscow that they are really going to go into meaningful negotiations and end this war. Pressure is needed. Strong sanctions, strong tariffs."

Local authorities said that at least 19 people were injured in the Mukachevo attack. Sybiha said the site was "a fully civilian facility that has nothing to do with defense or the military."

"This is not the first Russian attack on American businesses in Ukraine, after strikes on Boeing offices in Kyiv earlier this year and other attacks," Sybiha said.

In the western city of Lviv, around 40 miles east of the Polish border, at least one person was killed and three people injured by Russian strikes, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said on Telegram.
