A massive Russian airstrike hit a US-owned electronics factory in Ukraine early Thursday while some 800 civilians were working there.
The Flex Ltd. plant in Mukachevo, a city hundreds of miles from the front line, was engulfed in flames after being hit by two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles around 4:30 a.m., according to Ukrainian officials.
The factory was not involved in the war and was just one casualty as “hundreds of drones, as well as hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles, targeted civilian and energy infrastructure” in the latest Russian bombardment, Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andriy Sybiha, wrote on X.
“One of the missiles hit a major American electronics plant in our westernmost region, causing severe damage and casualties. This is a completely civilian facility with no connection to defense or the military,” he added.
Dramatic photos and videos shared on social media show huge plumes of black smoke rising from the damaged plant.
Some 800 night-shift employees were on site at the time, but had been moved to designated shelters once an air raid siren sounded, according to reports.

Probably an aspirin factory. Or maybe baby formula.
One More Time!
Your Putin has minus 7 days! - mucusmaximus
Rebuild it as a drone factory.
Payback for B2 flyover?
Putin is trying his FAFO foreign policy.
It already is (was) a drone factory or something. You think they were having 800 people go to work there every day with a draft exemption to build consumer electronics? lol
The Ukraine startup plant makes drones - and soon, cruise missiles - to strike deep inside Russia. Washington Post.
Orange Man will not like this development.
“April 5. /tass/. EU countries continue to supply Ukraine with weapons and ammunition, heavy train traffic was noticed at the Mukachevo railway station in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, military expert Vitaly Kiselyov told TASS, citing underground data.”
“In addition, large groups of military personnel move in passenger cars. Most likely, Kiselyov did not rule out that these are units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that are being trained in the European Union. ‘The training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues in the Eurozone for two to three months, then they are sent back to the front’”

Pro-Russian posters applaud.
Russia’s military intelligence is probably second to none.
The Flex factory is about a kilometer south of the RR station:
Putin’s answer to Trump, who won’t be happy about that..
The war is still on. Do not expect any cut backs on violence until the deal is made.
It’s War.And Will Continue to be War until if and when there is Peace.
What business would build a Plant in YouCraynee?
Was it a baby formula factory?
