Drones strike Russian chemical plant, Crimean military facility
Russian authorities reported drone strikes on Stavropol Krai and occupied Sevastopol overnight into Thursday, damaging industrial buildings in Nevinnomyssk and reportedly hitting an Almaz-Antey facility in Crimea, local governors and monitoring channels said.
In Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, drones damaged facades and glazing on several buildings in the industrial zone, Governor Vladimir Vladimirov reported.
In the Kochubeyevsky district, a woman was injured when UAV debris fell on a private home. Vladimirov said no critical infrastructure was damaged.
The Telegram channel Astra noted that Nevinnomyssk hosts the Azot chemical plant — previously attacked multiple times, including overnight into March 13 — which supplies acids used in producing octogen and hexogen for artillery shells.
The Telegram channel Crimean Wind claimed a drone strike destroyed half of a building at the Almaz-Antey conglomerate base in occupied Sevastopol.
However, Moscow-appointed governor Mikhail Razvozhaev reported only grass and private houses catching fire from debris, without confirming damage to the military facility.
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed 138 Ukrainian drones were intercepted or destroyed overnight, including 40 over Krasnodar Krai, 35 over occupied Crimea and 28 over Stavropol Krai.
