Drones attacked Cherepovets in Russia's Volgograd Oblast, with reports indicating a strike on the Apatit JSC chemical enterprise, local governor Georgy Filimonov wrote on March 27.

"As a result of a UAV attack on an industrial site in Cherepovets, eight hits were recorded," he claimed.

"There is no damage to the district's critical infrastructure. No casualties."

Filimonov did not specify which "industrial site" was attacked but stated that the region's operational units had been "put on high alert."

Drones struck Apatit (Cherepovets chemical cluster of the PhosAgro group) — Europe's largest producer of phosphorus-containing fertilizers, phosphoric and sulfuric acids, and one of Russia's leading producers of NPK fertilizers, the Exilenova+ Telegram channel wrote, citing local residents.

Drones also attacked Leningrad Oblast overnight on March 27. New strikes and fires were reported at the Primorsk and Ust-Luga ports.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
