Summary

On October 25, 2026, cruise missiles struck the Energia plant in Yelets, Lipetsk Oblast, Russia, which produces batteries and power sources for Russian military systems including missiles and UAVs. Smoke rose from the factory's premises and a fire broke out at the site. One person was injured. The plant was evacuated and emergency services responded. Several reports identify the missiles as Storm Shadow cruise missiles, though this is not officially confirmed. This was not the first attack on the facility, which had been targeted previously in 2025 and 2026.
