Ukrainian Defense Forces struck one of Russia’s largest chemical plants, “Nevinnomysskiy Azot,” in the Stavropol Krai, during the night leading into Thursday, causing a fire in one of the facility’s workshops, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
“As part of efforts to reduce the enemy’s offensive potential and capabilities for missile and bomb strikes, on the night of December 4, Ukrainian Defense Forces struck one of the aggressor’s largest chemical plants — ‘Nevinnomysskiy Azot’ in Stavropol Krai, Russia,” the General Staff stated on their Telegram channel Thursday evening.
