On the morning of September 11, drones struck the Azot chemical plant in Berezniki, Perm Krai, Russia. The plant produces ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea, nitric acid, and other chemical products. The Exilenova+ Telegram channel reported this. In Berezniki, Perm Krai, Russia, local residents reported an attack on the Berezniki Azot Chemical Plant.
Witnesses recorded at least three drones, as well as air defense systems. According to preliminary reports, a fire broke out at the plant. Azot is one of the region’s largest chemical plants. The plant specializes in the production of ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea, nitric acid, and other chemical products. There are no detailed information yet about the possible consequences of the drone attack.
However, it is worth noting that this is a large chemical complex covering approximately 140 hectares and comprising approximately 90 production buildings. Its products are crucial for the chemical component of the Russian military-industrial complex: in particular, concentrated nitric acid is used in the production of explosives. As a reminder, on the night of September 11, Ukrainian drones attacked the logistics hub of the Russian marketplace Ozon in Saratov. According to Fire Point, FP-1 drones carried out the strike, destroying the complex, which covers approximately 85,000 square meters.
The warehouse is designed to store over 30 million items. Furthermore, monitoring channels reported a possible attack on the Saratov Oil Refinery, which has been in operation since 1934 and has been the target of numerous previous attacks.
