Quote: "Kremniy El Group JSC in Bryansk has been struck. The extent of damage and strike results are being assessed."
Details: Kremniy El Group JSC is one of Russia's leading microelectronics manufacturers, producing microchips, power semiconductor devices and electronic components used in Russian command, communication and electronic warfare systems and weapons.
"The Bryansky plant in the city of Seltso in Russia's Bryansk Oblast has also been struck. Four explosions were recorded in the area of the facility. Strike results are being assessed," the General Staff added.
The Bryansk Chemical Plant is an important component of Russia's military-industrial complex, producing gunpowder, explosives and rocket propellant components used in the manufacture of munitions and missiles with which Russian forces strike Ukrainian territory.
In addition, the fuel depot at Belgorod airfield was struck. The extent of damage is currently being assessed.
Two railway bridges near the settlements of Rozdolne and Ichky in temporarily occupied Crimea were also struck. The General Staff says these facilities were used by Russian forces for logistics and the transfer of personnel, weapons and ammunition.
Logistics depots of Russian forces in the areas of Volnovakha and Yasynuvata in Donetsk Oblast were also struck.
The General Staff stressed that Ukraine's defence forces will continue to systematically strike military facilities used by Russia to conduct armed aggression against Ukraine.
