Ukraine drones strike deep inside Russia, hitting chemical plant and oil terminal
Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s Metafrax Chemicals plant in Perm Krai, halting production with officials saying several drones were shot down and no casualties at that site. A separate strike caused a fire at the Grushovaya oil terminal in Novorossiysk, injuring two people; the terminal is a key Transneft export hub. Kyiv says energy-site strikes are aimed at weakening Russia’s war effort, part of a broader pattern of attacks including an oil refinery hit in Syzran earlier this week. Zelensky credited Ukraine’s Security Service for the Metafrax strike.
