Ukraine: We just took out a Russian missile-microchip factory

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed in a post on his Telegram channel that the Russian capital’s air defense systems shot down the drone.

“Based on initial reports, there were no casualties or damage. Emergency services are working at the scene of the incident,” he wrote.

But Andriy Yusov, a representative of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, dismissed the mayor’s version of events as a lie.

“Sobyanin lied to everyone, [Russia’s] air defense took nothing down. The Tomilino Electronic Factory in Lyubertsy is on fire. This is the facility Russians use to produce electronics for their missiles,” Yusov was quoted by the news outlet RBC Ukraine as saying.
