Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian infrastructure in Moscow and Voronezh regions

On June 22, 2026, Ukrainian forces conducted a series of drone strikes against strategic targets within Russia. A satellite communications center in the Moscow region, identified as Dubna, was reported hit by the Ukrainian military staff, an event acknowledged by Russian state agency TASS, though Moscow claimed no impact on television or communication services. Separately, a refinery in the Kapotnya area of Moscow suffered damage during an extensive drone operation. Reports indicate that approximately 200 drones were deployed, though Russian officials claimed all were intercepted, attributing damage to falling debris. Additionally, an explosion was reported at the VZPP-S semiconductor plant in the Voronezh region, which produces components for Kh-101 missiles, Iskander-K systems, and Pantsir-S1 air defenses. The Voronezh governor confirmed three injuries and damage to an industrial facility, while reports indicate the facility produces critical electronics for Russian military hardware. Independent verification of the total impact remains limited, with conflicting reports from both sides regarding the effectiveness of the air defenses and the extent of the damage.
