Ukraine launches missile attack on Russian border region – governor

The strike has reportedly targeted a major chemical plant in Bryansk Region

The Ukrainian military launched a massive missile strike on Russia’s Bryansk Region on Monday, local governor Aleksandr Bogomaz has said.

The strike involved missiles of various types, the governor suggested, without elaborating on what exactly was targeted.

According to preliminary information, the incoming projectiles were intercepted by anti-aircraft defenses, Bogomaz noted, adding that no information on potential damage or casualties was readily available.

Media reports indicate that the strikes appeared to target the town of Seltso, situated just northwest of Bryansk, the regional capital. Seltso is known for its large chemical plant, which was likely the intended target of the Ukrainian attack.

Unverified footage circulating online suggests the strike involved cluster munitions, likely US-supplied ATACMS ballistic missiles, as well as unknown high-explosive munitions.
