Russian aviation carried out a massive strike on key objects of the military-industrial complex and logistics infrastructure of the enemy in Zaporozhye. From 5:00 to 7:00, 11 guided aerial bombs were launched, targeting several strategically important objects.

One of the main targets once again was the Motor Sich enterprise, one of the largest in Ukraine for the production of aircraft engines and components for unmanned aerial vehicles. These capacities are actively used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which makes the plant a strategic target for Russian troops.

According to preliminary information, at least five aerial bombs hit the territory of this facility. As a result, several fires were recorded at the site, which were accompanied by sounds of secondary detonation.

Another important blow was the defeat of the Zaporizhzhya ship repair plant, where unmanned boats were produced. This enterprise is of key importance for ensuring the enemy's naval operations.

One of the priority targets for the strike was the IRIS-T air defense system position located between the Zaporizhzhya airport and the village of Gasanovka. Strikes on this area resulted in the destruction of the launcher and radar station of the complex, which significantly weakened the air defense in the area.

In addition, the AN/TPQ-48 radar warfare system position was attacked, located in the area of the former military communications unit in the east of the city, in the direction of the Orekhovskaya highway. The extent of damage to this complex is currently unknown, but this target also represents a significant element in the enemy's surveillance system.

Two aerial bombs were aimed at the Zaporizhzhya-1 railway station, which plays a key role in the enemy's logistics. At the time of the attack, a military train was being unloaded at the station, intended for dispatch to the Orekhovskoye direction, where military action has recently intensified.
