The General Staff confirmed that a petrochemical plant in the Tyumen region had been struck

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The strike on the central gas fractionation unit has been confirmed. The capacity of the struck facility is approximately 6.6 million metric tons of raw materials per year, making it a vital component of one of the largest petrochemical plants in Russia and Europe.

The plant produces raw materials that are critical to Russia’s military-industrial complex—butadiene, isobutylene, maleic anhydride, and MTBE. These products are used in the production of rocket fuel components, aviation fuel, composite materials for UAVs, and high-octane gasoline.

The extent of the damage is being assessed.

As a reminder, Ukrainian defense forces struck the “Taneco” oil refinery in Tatarstan; a fire was reported at the facility. The Ukrainian military also struck a Russian military repair unit in the Luhansk region, a logistics depot, and a field artillery depot in the Donetsk region.
