The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked Volgograd on the night of June 27, Volgograd region Governor Andrei Bocharov said.
According to him, Russia’s Defense Ministry repelled an attack by “high-speed aerial targets,” but one industrial facility in Volgograd was damaged.
Ten people were injured in the attack and hospitalized. The fires that broke out, according to the governor, were extinguished. Residential buildings were not damaged.
The target of the attack was the Titan-Barrikady military plant, the Telegram channel Astra reported after analyzing eyewitness footage published in Ukrainian monitoring channels.
Ukrainian Telegram channels claim the plant was attacked with Ukrainian long-range Flamingo cruise missiles and that at least two hits were recorded. This information was indirectly confirmed by Denys Shtylerman, chief designer at the Ukrainian company Fire Point, which produces Flamingo missiles.
“Volgograd is welcoming the seasonal migration of flamingos from Ukraine,” he wrote on X.
The Titan-Barrikady enterprise is part of the state corporation Roscosmos and, among other things, produces artillery and missile equipment. The plant took part in the development of launchers for the Topol, Iskander, Tochka-U, Pioneer and Oka missile systems.
In addition, according to open data, the enterprise produces the launcher and support vehicles for the Oreshnik missile system. The plant is under Western sanctions.
During the full-scale war against Ukraine, Russia has used Oreshnik systems three times: first in November 2024 to strike the Yuzhmash plant in Dnipro, then in January 2026 to strike Lviv region, and a third time in May 2026 to strike Kyiv region.
