“As of 06:45 Moscow time, the fire was extinguished,” wrote Governor Jurij Sljusar. The plant in Novošakhtinsk has already been the target of Ukrainian drone attacks in the past. People in the vicinity of the refinery counted several dozens of explosions, they were apparently missiles fired by air defense and explosions of drones that crashed into the target, writes the TASS agency.
The Reuters agency reminds that this is the second Ukrainian attack on this refinery in the last six months. In June, drones disrupted the operation of a refinery in Novošachtinsk for two months.
Air defense also worked on Thursday night in Taganrog on the shore of the Sea of Azov, Rostov-on-Don or in Shakhty. As a result of the downed drone falling near Rostov, one person was injured, Sljusar informed.
Rostov Oblast leadership informed about a Ukrainian rocket attack in the vicinity of the city of Kamensk-Shachtinsky, which is located north of Novoshachtinsky. The Russian army shot down ten missiles there.
Kyiv later stated that the target of the attack was a chemical plant that specializes in the production of rocket fuel, explosives and various ammunition components. According to him, it is one of the largest enterprises of its kind in Russia.
