Ukraine hit the plant that fuels the Uragan, Smerch, and Tornado-S rockets Russia fires at frontline cities with no metro to shelter in.
Ukraine launched an attack on the plant that supplies fuel for Russia's Uragan, Smerch, and Tornado-S multiple-launch rocket systems. On the night of August 16, 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted the Kamensky Combine in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, located in the Rostov Oblast of Russia. This military-industrial facility is responsible for producing solid rocket fuel for the aforementioned rocket systems.
These weapons have been used against Ukrainian cities, with no metro systems to provide shelter for civilians. The Tornado-S rocket system, in particular, is one of Russia's most advanced long-range rocket artillery systems, capable of striking targets up to 120 kilometers away. The damage inflicted on the plant is still being assessed, but the Ukrainian General Staff confirmed a fire at the site.
Additionally, two earlier strikes have been confirmed - one on the ZapSibNeftekhim complex in Tobolsk, another major petrochemical plant, and a refinery in Orsk, Orenburg Oblast, which sustained damage to its hydrocracking unit, oil-processing units, and distillation unit. The Ukrainian military continues to target key military and military-industrial targets in Russia, indicating a sustained campaign aimed at degrading Russia's capacity to produce weapons and fuel for its forces.
