KYIV, Ukraine Two Russian cruise missiles slammed into an American electronics factory in a remote corner of far western Ukraine before dawn Thursday, causing extensive damage and more than a dozen injuries, according to Ukrainian officials.
The attack came as Russia carried out one of its largest airstrikes of the war, firing more than 570 drones and 40 missiles in an overnight barrage, according to the officials.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was one of several officials who took to social media to report the airstrike, saying at least 15 people were wounded.
In his post on the Telegram messaging app, Zelenskyy called it an "ordinary civilian enterprise, an American investment. They produced such familiar household items as coffee machines."
The Ukrainian leader went on to say that the Russian military "delivered this strike as if nothing had changed at all. As if there were no efforts by the world to stop this war."............
