Al Jazeera reports that Ukraine is escalating the conflict to Russia's space program by attacking its military space infrastructure, marking a shift in tactics. Ukraine has reportedly used long-range drones and missiles multiple times to strike space communication centers and rocket production facilities within Russia. These include an attack on the Dubna Space Communication Center in the Moscow suburbs in late June, an attack on an area near the Plesetsk State Test Cosmodrome on August 23, and an attack on the Progress Rocket and Space Center in Samara on August 15. Analysts suggest these attacks aim to disrupt Russia's reconnaissance, navigation, and military coordination capabilities, and could cause serious problems for Russia's entire space program, including civilian and international projects.
