Inside Ukraine's longest-range strike yet: Flamingo missiles hit a 500-km target deep inside Russia

A Ukrainian cruise missile struck a satellite uplink facility near Vladimir, more than 500 kilometres inside Russia, days after a similar hit on the Dubna space centre, in what looks like the deepest confirmed Ukrainian strike of the war so far.

Desk note: Monexus frames the Vladimir strike as a Ukrainian defensive operation against the rear infrastructure of an invading power, not as a tit-for-tat exchange. The Russian ministry's silence is treated as evidentiary, not as proof. The verification status of the strike is flagged in line rather than buried.
