Ukraine has conducted a missile strike on a large chemical facility located in Russia‘s southern Rostov Region, as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The military indicated that the incident occurred on Wednesday, involving the launch of six American-made ATACMS tactical missiles alongside four air-launched Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
In response, Russian air defense systems engaged the incoming threats, successfully intercepting all ATACMS and three of the four Storm Shadow missiles utilizing S-400 and Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile systems, as well as the Pantsir air defense system. One Storm Shadow missile deviated from its intended path but still struck the facility, causing damage to a technical building, according to the ministry’s statement.
Moscow has denounced the attack, asserting that the actions of the Kiev regime, backed by Western allies, will not go unaddressed.
The Kamensky plant is recognized as one of the largest chemical manufacturing facilities in southern Russia. Founded in 1939, it has undergone significant development, producing vital chemical products that serve national interests and bolster the country’s defense capabilities.
