Four UAV production workshops damaged at Izhevsk plant "Kupol" after yesterday's attack. Work at the plant has been suspended
According to ASTRA sources in the region's emergency services, as a result of yesterday's arrival of two UAVs at IEMZ "Kupol" in Izhevsk, the building of the 1st building, where drones are produced, was damaged.
One drone flew into the window of workshop 106, the second hit the roof of workshop 110 and exploded. A fire broke out. As a result, the roof of the building collapsed over an area of 1,300 square meters.
The strike damaged the workshops where they do metalworking, soldering of microcircuits, and where finished UAVs are manufactured.
The production site of the enterprise at this address is responsible for the development and production of microcircuits for military drones. They work there around the clock in three shifts, ASTRA learned. After the attack, the work of the enterprise was suspended.
Three Kupol employees were killed, another 45 were injured, 35 of whom were hospitalized.
The attack was previously confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "Precise hits on building No. 1 at site No. 1 have been confirmed. A fire has been recorded. The results of the damage are being clarified," the department said.
The Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol is one of the largest enterprises in the Russian defense industry, established in 1957. It produces the Tor-M2E air defense missile system, as well as the Saman-M1 and Adjutant target training systems, and provides their maintenance, the director of the enterprise, Fanil Ziyatdinov, reported in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta in 2023. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, in July 2023, according to Reuters, the plant began producing Harpia-A1 attack drones using engines and components from China.
The Kupol plant is included in the sanctions lists of the European Union, the United States, Canada, >Ukraine and Switzerland.

I agree, and they have the whole cart to themselves, so it's a nice opportunity to practice without disturbing anyone.
A source from VChK-OGPU shared details of the explosion that killed Zaur Gurtsiev, a veteran of the “special military operation” and first deputy mayor of Stavropol. It was established that Gurtsiev had met Nikita Penkov through a gay dating platform.
Investigators found explicit correspondence between the two, including the exchange of nude photos. Gurtsiev had invited his new acquaintance for private meetings several times, but the encounters were postponed due to his business trips — until the night of the incident.
Gurtsiev and Penkov had agreed on a meeting place in advance. As soon as they got close, an explosion occurred. Preliminary data suggests the IED was hidden in a body bag worn by Nikita Penkov. The device contained shrapnel — specifically, pellets used in pneumatic weapons.
According to early findings, Penkov had allegedly been hired by unknown individuals to collect compromising material on Gurtsiev and was provided with “special equipment” capable of transmitting video. The IED had been built into this device.
Only two helicopters were confirmed to be destroyed and I wouldn't expect more than 5 crew each, so there was likely a third unreported loss.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a train with fuel in the occupied territory of Zaporizhia Oblast. ASTRA learned about the consequences of the strike
The day before, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine published a video of a UAV attack on a freight train. In the video, at least one carriage catches fire after the strike. It was claimed that this happened on May 24 on the Verkhniy Tokmak - Molochansk - Fedorovka railway section. The agency reported the destruction of three fuel tanks.
According to ASTRA sources, Ukrainian drones did indeed strike a moving train heading from Volnovakha to Dzhankoy. This happened on the night of May 24 near the Fedorovka station in the Melitopol district. The train was attacked by three UAVs in total.
One UAV crashed into a diesel fuel tank, which exploded and caught fire. Another one hit a freight car, and a third hit the railroad tracks.
There were no casualties.
They needed room for a love swing.
The one with GRIM is the drone model. I assume F-19 is made by the same manufacturer that produces F-7 & F-10 drones, commonly used by the 414th Strike UAV Brigade. Sometimes they will put a unit or donor's name there instead.
From a different article:
The controversial image appears to have been generated using artificial intelligence and was approved by the city administration before painting began.
Ironically, according to Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), the same stock photo from Depositphotos has been used in their own recruitment materials.
Here is a more detailed source.
