Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck Morozov Plant JSC near St. Petersburg overnight Nov. 9, hitting a facility it identifies as a supplier of materials for Russia’s 9M723 Iskander-M missiles.

The General Staff reported damage to three production workshops. It said the site’s damage was still under assessment and argued that attacks on suppliers make it harder for Russia to produce Iskander missiles, without estimating any output loss.

Ukraine’s General Staff and Defense Intelligence War & Sanctions portal describe the plant as a maker of explosives and a supplier of solid-propellant charges for the motors of 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Both identify it as part of Russia’s Rostec state corporation; the intelligence portal lists its address in Leningrad region.

The Kyiv Independent said it could not independently verify the reported strike. The workshop damage claim also has no independent confirmation.

The report follows Ukraine’s General Staff’s October account of a strike on Tolyattikauchuk, which it linked to materials used in Russia’s missile production.
