Jay in Kyiv@JayinKyiv
A brutal night for Russia's rapidly vanishing chemical, petroleum and industrial sectors as Ukrainian drone barrages layed waste to some of the country's most valuable assets at distances over 1300km from Ukraine.
Targets included facilities from Tatarstan, all the way to Samara, with multiple successful strikes at each.
Employing thousands of people, the sprawling Nizhnekamskneftekhim chemical plant in Tatarstan region was particularly hard hit with as many as 8 successful strikes.
In Tolyatti, Samara Region, the TogliattiKauchuk plant was hit. This facility is the largest producer of rubber, plastics and synthetics in Russia.
