Ukraine’s drones have struck a military plant in the Bashkortostan Republic, more than 1,300 km (800 miles) inside Russia.
The Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant produces aviation fuel and other materials used by Russia’s defense industry. It has been targeted by Ukrainian drones several times, including last April.
Bashkortostan authorities acknowledged an attack on Sterlitamak’s industrial zone but did not identify the facility struck.
The plant began operating in 1963 and is owned by Russian chemical holding Ruschem, formerly called Russian Hydrogen.
Ukraine also struck and set afire a Russia Navy vessel during several waves of attacks against city of Sochi.
The Nefrit was part of Russia’s maritime and energy infrastructure. It supported oil and gas operations, serviced offshore facilities, provided cargo and personnel transport, and carried out underwater technical work.
Footage also showed a fire at an oil depot following an aerial attack.
