Ukraine Hits Russian Chemical Plants and Taganrog Drone Sites, Zelensky Says
Ukrainian forces struck two chemical industry enterprises in Russia’s Perm and Samara regions and a Black Sea target over the past 24 hours. Concurrently, the SBU reported that its “Alpha” special operations units hit an FPV drone production plant, two drone warehouses, a Pantsir-S2 air defense system, an oil tank, and a P-18 radar in Taganrog, sparking fires across the facilities.
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Saturday that Ukrainian forces struck two chemical industry enterprises in Russia's Perm and Samara regions over the past 24 hours. Additionally, Ukrainian drones targeted multiple military sites in Taganrog. According to Zelensky, these strikes aim to make the war "felt by the aggressor every single day."
The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that long-range strike drones utilized their "Alpha" Special Operations Center to hit five distinct military and logistics targets. These included a Pantsir-S2 surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery complex. Fires were recorded at all targeted installations, indicating the destruction of manufacturing and storage capacities for UAVs and FPV drones.
In the Samara region, overnight drone strikes ignited a fire at the KuibyshevAzot plant, a major supplier of polymer materials, technical yarn, and tire cord. In the Perm region, drones struck the Uralchem-operated Azot plant, producing ammonium nitrate, urea, and nitric acid used in making military explosives.
