00:00Ukraine says it has struck a Russian satellite communications site deep inside the Moscow
00:05region. The target was identified as the Dubna Satellite Communications Center.
00:10According to Ukraine's general staff, the strike was carried out on Monday, June 22.
00:15Russia's state-run TASS news agency later confirmed the center had come under what it
00:20called a massive Ukrainian drone attack. Russian officials said television broadcasting
00:25and communications were not affected. The center's parent organization,
00:30Space Communications, also said no staff were injured. Cleanup and damage control measures are
00:36now underway at the site. The attack is significant because Dubna is linked to Russia's state space
00:41communications network. Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian military, energy, and strategic
00:48infrastructure far from the battlefield. For Kyiv, these strikes are designed to disrupt systems that
00:54support Russia's war effort. For Moscow, the attack is another sign that critical sites near the
01:00capital remain exposed. The full extent of the damage has not yet been independently confirmed.
01:06But the strike adds to a growing pattern of Ukrainian long-range attacks inside Russia.
