On August 8, 2026, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its forces conducted precision strikes on a military-industrial facility in Kyiv involved in the production of Flamingo missiles, as well as a fuel depot supplying Ukrainian troops. The strikes were confirmed by the Russian MOD in a statement reported by RT.
The Flamingo missile is a Ukrainian cruise missile developed to strike ground targets. The facility targeted is said to be part of the broader Ukrainian defense industry, which has been a focus of Russian strikes throughout the conflict.
The fuel depot was reportedly used to supply Ukrainian military units, and its destruction is intended to disrupt logistics and supply lines. The Russian MOD did not provide details on the extent of damage or any casualties.
Ukrainian authorities have not yet commented on the strikes. The situation remains fluid, and independent verification of the claims is pending.
