The factories in Russia that caught fire following drone attacks are disguised military installations, according to the head of the Central Defense Ministry.

About this, wrote the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Andrey Kovalenko.

He referred to them as "camouflaged military facilities."

"Russia is disguising military factories as ordinary ones, trying to conceal their true output. But everything is known", Kovalenko stated.

Recall that a fire broke out in the industrial zone of the city of Gatchina in the Leningrad region. Local residents reported hearing explosions. According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, the fire engulfed 1,900 square meters of a two-story brick building within the industrial area.

Nearby the fire site is the company "Ingria Tech," which specializes in selling panel coverings and paint products.
