That’s according to the official’s post on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"Disguised defense industry facilities were attacked in Russia’s Rostov and Leningrad regions. Russia is passing off defense plants as civil ones, trying to hide their actual production. But we are aware of everything," the report says.
