The Ukrainian Navy command confirmed that R-360 Neptune cruise missiles struck the Karachev “Electrodetal” plant in Russia's Bryansk region on the night of September 28th to 29th, 2025. According to Ukraine's General Staff, four missiles hit the facility, which produces electrical connectors for military and aerospace use, located over 240 km from the border. Explosions and a fire were reported at the “Electrodetal” plant, with damage assessments currently ongoing, as stated by Ukraine's General Staff. This strike follows previous reports of a fire at the same plant overnight and coincides with President Donald Trump's authorization for Ukraine to use American-made long-range drones and missiles to strike targets within Russia, some requiring Pentagon approval. Earlier in the reporting window, social media chatter mentioned two Ilyushin Il-96-300p aircraft, with a hashtag referencing "#Putin." The context for this mention is not immediately clear within the current reporting period. Previous reports from September 29th indicated that Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) detained a woman in Sevastopol for allegedly cooperating with Ukraine's military intelligence. Additionally, a potential collision between the Greek-flagged tanker Minevera Antonia and the Russian-flagged tanker Garmonia was reported near the Russian port of Gelendzhik, accompanied by significant GPS/GLONASS jamming.
