I think the media isn't suggesting the Russians did it for the simple reason that there's no cause to think that they did. This is a tiny factory in a rural area. Even if it had a tremendous amount of automation, those sixteen people weren't supplying even one percent of the military's ordinance. It simply makes no sense to target it for sabotage.
Also worth noting is that industrial accidents of this type aren't exactly unheard of. In fact, there was a smaller explosion at this same site around a decade ago.
