On Monday evening, April 6, Russians complained about an attack by unknown drones in the Voronezh region. Soon after, a fire broke out near one of the chemical plants, according to Russian Telegram channels.
According to the posts, around 9:45 p.m. (Kyiv time), a drone threat was announced in the Voronezh region.
Shortly thereafter, it became known that unknown drones were heading toward the town of Rossosh. Despite claims that all emergency services were on alert, footage of a fire soon began appearing on the channels.
A number of OSINT Telegram channels specified that the strike hit JSC Minudobreniya (Mineral Fertilizers). This is one of the key chemical plants that produces ammonia, nitric acid, and ammonium nitrate.
In other words, the enterprise produces basic components for explosives, thereby classifying this facility as part of Russia's military industry.
There have been no official comments on the consequences of the attack so far.
Strikes on Russia
In recent days, Ukraine carried out a series of strikes on key Russian oil terminals in the Baltic Sea. According to the FT, these attacks caused the enemy nearly $1 billion in damages, and that is only lost export revenue.
We also reported that on the night of April 5–6, Novorossiysk came under attack. Later, it became known that a Transneft facility, where the largest oil tankers are serviced, caught fire as a result of the strikes.
According to Reuters, a fire broke out near several berths, key cargo points at the terminal. Shortly thereafter, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the oil-loading infrastructure of the Sheskharis oil terminal had been hit.
