Editor’s note: The story is being updated.

Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces attacked the Rezonit Technopark in Russia’s Moscow Oblast overnight on June 12, with explosions reported at the facility, the Ukrainian military reported.

The operation was meant to “reduce Russia’s ability to produce high-tech weapons and equipment,” as the facility assembles circuit boards and electronics for the Russian military-industrial complex, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said.

The consequences of the attack are being clarified, according to the statement.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its forces shot down 52 Ukrainian drones overnight, including three over Moscow Oblast. Russian officials have not commented on a possible attack against the technopark.
