What Russia says
Russian sources claim that the target of the attack was not the city of Volgograd itself, but the facility. According to their claims, air defenses allegedly operated normally, while damage in the city from falling debris was minor, including a forest fire near the Volga River.
The strike on Volgogradpromproekt occurred overnight on September 11. As Fire Point company reported, Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted the facility with FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, after which a fire broke out on the premises.
Volgogradpromproekt Limited Liability Company is under US sanctions for working with the Russian military-industrial complex. The company produces ferrocene-containing combustion catalysts and technologies for manufacturing chemical substances.
