MOSCOW, June 9, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Work at an electronics factory in Russia's Chuvashia region, some 600 kilometres east of Moscow, was briefly suspended on Monday due to falling Ukrainian drones, local officials said.

"This morning, Ukrainian attempts to use drones in Chuvashia were detected," regional governor Oleg Nikolayev wrote on Telegram, adding that there were no victims from the attack.

Ukraine regularly launches drone attacks on Russia in response to aerial bombardments by Moscow, which began a full-scale offensive into Ukrainian territory more than three years ago.

"Two drones fell on the territory of the VNIIR factory," said Nikolayev.

The VNIIR facility is one of the main factories producing electronic components in Russia.

A decision was taken to "temporarily suspend production to ensure the safety of employees", the governor added.

Two drones fell into fields in the region without causing any danger to people, Nikolayev said.

"The situation is entirely under control," he added.

Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted 49 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Ukraine said it shot down "dozens" of Russian drones over its western Rivne region.

The massive Russian attack saw Ukraine's western neighbour Poland scramble fighter jets to secure its airspace, Warsaw's Operational Command said in a statement on social media.
