Ukraine’s Special Forces Target Russian Plant: Impact on War and Economy
On November 12, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces conducted a successful fire attack on the Lukoil-owned Stavrolen petrochemical enterprise in Budyonnovsk, southern Russia, using drones from the Deep Strike unit. While Russian air defenses intercepted 22 drones, including some over Stavropol Krai, the strike resulted in numerous explosions and a fire at the target. The Stavrolen plant, a major producer of petrochemical products, reportedly produces components used in Russian military equipment. This attack is part of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to disrupt Russia’s oil and gas production, impacting its war efforts.
