Attack on Mukachevo

It is important to note that on August 21, Russian forces struck Mukachevo in the Transcarpathian region.

Among the affected facilities is the Flextronics plant, owned by the American company Flex International, a global leader in electronics contract manufacturing.

The Information Countermeasures Center stated that there is no military rationale behind these attacks; they are merely attempts to intimidate the population and prolong the war.
