KYIV - Ukraine's military said it had hit a plant producing electronics for missiles in Russia's Voronezh region on Monday, the latest blow on Russia's military-industrial complex inflicted by Ukraine's growing long-range strikes.

In a statement on Telegram, the Ukrainian General Staff said it had used air-launched cruise missiles to hit the facility, which it described as a "critical component" in Russia's defence production.
