Ukraine struck the Tobolskneftekhim petrochemical plant in Russia’s Tyumen region on Monday, Aug. 10, damaging Russia’s largest petrochemical plant in western Siberia, located roughly 1,370 miles from the border. Regional governor Alexander Moor reported the strike around 1 p.m. local time, saying that falling drones caused a fire at an industrial facility. “Emergency service specialists are working at the scene,” Moor said, adding that the situation is under his “personal control.”JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. He urged Russian residents not to distribute video recordings and photographs of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), warning that doing so carries legal penalties. Ukraine confirms the strike The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) confirmed the strike in a Telegram post hours later, specifying that the attack hit the plant’s central gas fractionation unit (CGFU). “The plant produces raw materials that are critically important to Russia’s military-industrial complex,” the General Staff said, adding that the strike is conducted as part of broader efforts to reduce the military-economic potential of Russia’s war machine. No casualties were confirmed at the site, and neither the General Staff nor regional governor Moor disclosed the number of drones involved in the attack. Among Russia’s largest plants The damaged unit processes about 6.6 million tons (around 14.5 billion pounds) of feedstock annually, and forms a key part of the production complex at one of the largest petrochemical enterprises in both Russia and Europe.
