Ukrainian forces struck the Nevinnomyssk Azot chemical plant in the Stavropol region of southern Russia. The plant is located near the city of Nevinnomyssk, in Stavropol Krai.
The assault hit one of the plant’s production workshops and sparked a fire inside the facility.
Nevinnomyssk Azot is among Russia’s largest chemical enterprises. It produces over one million tons of ammonia and up to 1.4 million tons of ammonium nitrate yearly — essential base materials for explosives and ammunition.
The strike is described by Ukrainian authorities as part of an effort to cut the enemy’s capacity for missile and bomb production.
Russian officials have not responded publicly to the claim.
