Russian industrial plants and military airfield hit by Ukrainian drone strikes

drone strikes industrial facilities KuibyshevAzot military-industrial complex Russian infrastructure

Ukrainian long-range drones targeted key industrial and military sites in Russia, specifically in the cities of Tolyatti and Taganrog.

In Tolyatti, located approximately 900 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, a strike hit the KuibyshevAzot chemical plant. This facility is considered vital to the Russian military-industrial complex as it produces chemicals and polymer materials used in the production of solid rocket fuel for tactical and ballistic missiles. Reports indicate that the strike caused fires at the plant.

In Taganrog, situated about 40 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, drones reportedly targeted the Taganrog-Central military airfield and a production facility for Atlant Aero, a manufacturer of Molniya and Orion drones. Local reports and satellite imagery noted significant fires at the airfield and an automotive plant storage tank.

Separately, Russian forces conducted strikes on Ukrainian cities, resulting in three deaths in Zaporizhzhia and 16 injuries in Odesa. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have intercepted 230 Ukrainian drones over various regions, including Crimea and the Black Sea.
