According to the SBU, at least 20 explosions and several fires were recorded at the site. As a result, the plant's management halted all technological operations.

"The SBU continues to carry out targeted strikes on Russian enterprises that are part of the military-industrial complex and produce weapons for the war against Ukraine. These types of facilities are completely legitimate military targets," a source within the SBU said.
