Ukraine struck a chemical plant in Russia’s Tula region for the second time in two weeks as part of a massive wave of overnight drone attacks, according to Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels.
Details of the Attack
Regional governor Dmitry Milyayev said an industrial facility in Novomoskovsk, 200 km south of Moscow, had been damaged. The facility is reportedly the Azot plant, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy described as critical to Russia’s production of explosives.
Ukraine has intensified drone strikes deep inside Russia this year as part of a strategy to inflict economic pain and undermine Moscow’s ability to sustain the war. The Russian Defence Ministry said 660 drones were destroyed over 12 Russian regions and Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
