Drones attack Russia’s Nizhnekamsk as fire breaks out at major petrochemical plant
Drones attacked the city of Nizhnekamsk in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan overnight, followed by a fire at the Nizhnekamskneftekhim petrochemical plant, OSINT channels reported on Nov. 15.
Drones struck a major petrochemical complex in Russia's Tatarstan Republic and critical infrastructure in Rostov on Sunday, Nov. 15. The attacks resulted in fires at the Nizhnekamskneftekhim plant and damaged a high-voltage power substation in Taganrog, as well as a key logistics bridge in the Rostov region. Local residents reported hearing the drones' engines before the explosions.
The Nizhnekamskneftekhim plant, one of Russia's largest chemical producers, specializes in synthetic rubbers, plastics, and ethylene. In Rostov, the targeted 220-kilovolt substation supplies power to the city and its industrial belt, including Taganrog Metallurgical Works. The Melentyevsky bridge, which supports military transit to occupied Ukraine, was also damaged.
These strikes come amid a rise in Ukrainian attacks on Russian military-industrial, energy, and logistics targets.
