The Ukrainian navy reported that a Neptune missile successfully struck the Karachev 'Elektrodetal' plant, posting photos of a large urban fire that were not independently verified. Karachev is in Bryansk, about 70 miles from the Ukrainian border, while the General Staff described the strike as conducted at a range of roughly 240 km (about 150 miles). The General Staff said four missiles were launched but did not specify types. The targeted factory makes electrical parts, including high- and low-frequency connectors for military and aerospace use.
