Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces hit the Nevinnomyssk Azot chemical plant in Russia’s Stavropol Krai overnight on December 4, damaging a production workshop and igniting a fire.
The plant is one of Russia’s largest chemical facilities and a critical part of the country’s defense industry, the General Staff said, with annual capacity of more than 1 million tons of ammonia and up to 1.4 million tons of ammonium nitrate—key components used to make explosives and ammunition.
Ukraine’s military also said it confirmed a separate December 4 strike on a concentration of Russian personnel at a training ground near Dokuchaievsk, in Russian-occupied Donetsk region, reporting 60 soldiers killed and wounded.
“The Defense Forces continue to take all measures to undermine the military-economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to cease its armed aggression against Ukraine,” the statement said.
The General Staff previously reported a December 2 strike on an oil depot in Livny, Oryol region, where two RV-5000 tanks caught fire after drone hits, and an overnight November 28 strike on the Saratov oil refinery.
