Ukrainian drones attacked the Optic Fiber Systems Plant, which produces fiber-optic cable for jamming-resistant drones, causing fires at two locations.
Two Ukrainian raids on the factory took place in April and May 2025. After flying through some 1,400 kilometers of Russian airspace undetected, Ukrainian drones detonated multiple warheads at the site. The May 7 attack set fire to parts of the factory, and it was forced to halt production.
