Ukrainian forces reportedly strike Russian targets 2,500 kilometers from border
Ukraine struck several targets, including a petrochemical plant and a warehouse in Siberia around 2,500 kilometers away from the border on Oct. 24, monitoring channels reported.
Ukrainian forces carried out airstrikes on targets located 2,500 kilometers away from Ukraine's border on October 24, according to monitoring channels. One of the hit sites was the Omsky Kauchuk petrochemical plant in Omsk, Russia, described as the largest petrochemical plant in Russia and a key producer of synthetic rubber, organic synthesis products, and methyl tert-butyl ether.
The plant also plays a crucial role in Russia's supply chain for rocket fuel, including the Iskander ballistic missile. Another target was a warehouse belonging to the Russian online retailer Ozon. Governor of Omsk Oblast, Vitaliy Khotsenko, confirmed that a logistics hub in Omsk was targeted by Ukrainian drones, with personnel promptly evacuated and emergency services responding to the scene.
The strikes were aimed at weakening Russia's military-economic potential, as Ukraine regularly targets facilities that serve as storage sites for dual-use goods used in weapons production and military purposes.
