Explosions were reported near a Russian aircraft repair plant in Novgorod Oblast on 10 November, while drones also targeted occupied Crimea. The Exilenova+ Telegram channel said the attack may have targeted the 123rd Aircraft Repair Plant in Staraya Russa, which maintains Russian military transport aircraft. Ukrinform reported that drones attacked the plant overnight into Tuesday, and Meduza reported that Novgorod Governor Alexander Dronov confirmed damage to an industrial facility, though his statement did not name the plant. Ukraine's General Staff has now said it struck facilities at the 123rd Aircraft Repair Plant that are vital to maintaining high-value strategic transport aircraft. Ukrinform described the target as a plant that repairs A-50 airborne early warning aircraft, and Ukrainska Pravda reported that explosions and fires were seen at the site. The General Staff statement confirms Ukrainian responsibility for the strike.
