Russia has threatened to bomb four areas in Britain listing ‘potential targets’ where it claims drones for Ukraine are being manufactured.
The Kremlin has listed addresses in London, Leicester, Reading and Suffolk where it claims drones and equipment for Ukraine are being manufactured. There are also several locations listed across Europe.
One UK address is in Mildenhall, Suffolk, where an RAF base is located.
The Russian Defence Ministry warned that the move by European leaders to allegedly ramp up production of Ukrainian drones was escalating the “military-political situation” on the continent.

He urged Europe to take the list “literally”.
“The list of European facilities which make drones & other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces,” he said.
The Russian Defence Ministry said the decision by European countries to increase drone production for Ukraine had led to a “sharp escalation of the military-political situation across the entire European continent” and could incur “unpredictable consequences”.
It said that “instead of strengthening the security of European states, the actions of European leaders are increasingly drawing these countries into a war with Russia”.

Europeans should “not only clearly understand the true causes of the threats to their security but also know the addresses and locations of ‘Ukrainian’ and ‘joint’ enterprises producing drones and components for Ukraine on the territory of their countries”, the Ministry continued.
Other locations on the potential hit list where drones are allegedly being manufactured are in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy, Israel and Turkey.
