Ukrainian drones struck Perm Krai on the morning of September 11, hitting industrial facilities, Governor Dmitry Makhonin said, without specifying which enterprises were affected.
On September 11, Ukrainian drones targeted industrial facilities in Perm Krai, according to Governor Dmitry Makhonin. The Telegram channel Astra reported that one of the targets was the Azot plant in Berezniki, situated 180 kilometers from Perm. This plant, owned by Uralchem, is a significant producer of nitrogen fertilizers and chemical substances utilized in explosive manufacturing, employing approximately 2,500 individuals.
Employees of the plant informed Astra that explosions had caused production to cease. Following the assault, residents of Berezniki reported a chemical odor, as per the Telegram channel Perm 36.6. Educational institutions in the city canceled classes and health clinics postponed routine patient appointments. Uralchem has not yet issued an official statement regarding the consequences of the attack.
It should be noted that this was not the first Ukrainian strike on the plant; drones had already targeted Azot in Berezniki in October 2025.
