Ukraine Strikes Electronics Plant in Voronezh, Killing At Least 5

June 22, 2026 Smoke rises into the sky above the city of Voronezh after a Ukrainian attack on June 22, 2026. WarGonzo / Telegram Ukraine’s military said Monday that it carried out a missile attack against a manufacturing plant in the city of Voronezh that it claims produces electronic components for the Russian military. Voronezh region Governor Alexander Gusev confirmed that significant damage was inflicted on a local “production facility.” He later said at least five people were killed and dozens of others were wounded, but did not provide further details about the extent of the damage. “The majority of the plant’s employees managed to reach the shelter in time and remained unharmed, despite the severe damage to the building,” Gusev wrote in a post on Telegram. He said multiple residential buildings and vehicles also sustained damage during the attack. Videos and images circulating on social media showed smoke and fires billowing from the site, which The Moscow Times was able to identify as the Voronezh Semiconductor Device Plant. According to its website, the facility is one of Russia’s largest silicon foundries, specializing in manufacturing and exporting microelectronics and power electronics components. Ukraine’s military said it used “high-precision” cruise missiles to target what it identified only as an “enterprise producing components for Russian missiles.” “The plant’s products are directly used by the enemy to produce precision-guided weapons, which Russian forces deploy to strike Ukrainian territory and target civilians,” it said in a statement. Separately, Ukraine said it targeted the Dubna Space Communications Center in the Moscow region during a broader overnight drone assault across Russia. The center confirmed to Russian state media that it came under attack but said that operations are continuing as usual.
