Drones targeted a key Russian gas processing plant in Astrakhan, which impacts the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, reported Andrey Kovalenko, head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council.
"The Astrakhan gas processing plant has been attacked. This is one of the key energy facilities in Russia, responsible for processing gas condensate and producing gasoline, diesel fuel, and more," he stated in a telegram message.
According to Kovalenko, the plant affects Russia's military-industrial complex, as the fuel and energy sector is the primary source of funding for the defense sector.
According to Reuters, these were Ukrainian drones. Additionally, the drones also struck an oil refinery in Volgograd and disrupted flights at several airports.
