Ukraine expands missile strikes inside Russia, targeting key infrastructure

Ukraine has expanded missile strikes inside Russia, targeting key infrastructure to disrupt military capabilities. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian weapons struck a strategic defense research institute in Penza. This facility develops and manufactures critical sensor technology for Iskander, Bulava, and Topol-M missiles, alongside Su-34 and Su-57 fighter aircraft and Kh-101 and Kh-59 cruise missiles. These intensified operations heighten conflict risks, potentially escalating nuclear tensions and impacting global markets as the strategic strikes continue.
