Facilities used for ammonium nitrate production were also located within the explosion zone. The shockwave completely destroyed one of the elevated platforms and damaged nearby production units within a radius of several hundred meters.
According to reports, in 2024, the facility accounted for around 10% of total ammonium nitrate production in Russia.
Background
In the early hours of February 25, explosions were reported in the town of Dorogobuzh in Russia’s Smolensk region, as drones targeted the chemical plant Dorogobuzh PJSC. This facility had already been attacked by Ukrainian drones in December 2025.
Dorogobuzh PJSC is an industrial chemical enterprise specializing in the production of nitrogen fertilizers and other chemical products.
The plant’s output includes, among other things, ammonium nitrate, components of which can be used industrially in both the civil and military sectors.
Recently, Ukrainian drones have been targeting strategic facilities in Russia that serve the country’s defense-industrial complex.
Notably, Ukrainian Defense Forces recently struck a plant involved in the production of intercontinental ballistic missiles using Flamingo missiles.
