Ukrainian General Staff says it hit Russian rocket production sites overnight

Situation Overview

On 9 October 2026, Ukraine’s General Staff said Ukrainian forces achieved successful strikes overnight on Russian facilities involved in rocket production. The General Staff named several targets: a branch of JSC “Center for the Operation of Ground Space Infrastructure Facilities” (TsENKI) tied to launch-complex research; the Redkino experimental plant, described as producing rocket fuel components and diesel fuel; and a center for the elimination of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The reports did not provide any figures on damage, casualties, or follow-on effects, and no specific economic or market impacts were stated.
