Ukraine says Neptunes hit three drone sites in Rostov

Ukraine's navy used the Neptune coastal missile system to hit the three facilities, the General Staff said, according to Novynarnia. The targets included Ionos's tactical attack-drone production facility and a warehouse holding its drones.

The third target was Aero-Khit's service centre, which repairs and maintains drones for Russian forces. Aero-Khit makes Veles attack and reconnaissance FPV drones, but its production facility is in Khabarovsk; the service centre hit was in Rostov-on-Don, UNIAN reported, citing the General Staff.

The command said some drones had burned in storage and predicted that production losses and delayed repairs would reduce supplies to Russian forces, according to RBC-Ukraine. That was the command's assessment of the strikes' effects.

The reports did not specify how many drones burned, the precise extent of damage or how long repairs to the facilities would take. They did not establish that all three sites had been completely destroyed.
