Drones attacked Russia’s Perm Krai on Oct. 25, hitting a chemical and metallurgical enterprise in Berezniki whose products are used in military aircraft, aircraft engines, missile systems and space technology, according to the Telegram channel Exilenova+.
The plant belongs to VSMPO-Avisma, the world’s largest titanium producer and a key supplier of the metal to companies in Russia’s military-industrial complex.
Perm Krai Gov. Dmitry Makhonin claimed the strike caused “minor damage” to an industrial facility in the north of the region. He said the site “continues to function normally.”
The governor also said 11 drones were shot down over the region.
Overnight into Oct. 25, drones also attacked other parts of Russia. In particular, central Belgorod came under attack, with houses and cars damaged in the city. There may also have been a hit on a local shopping center.
