Unidentified drones have attacked the Stavrolen petrochemical plant in Russia's Budyonnovsk, Stavropol Krai, local governor Vladimir Vladimirov wrote on Dec. 23.
He claimed drones 'attempted to strike facilities in Budyonnovsk' and that fires broke out within the industrial zone.
However, he did not specify which site was targeted.
Telegram channel Astra, which analyzed footage from the scene, wrote the strike hit Stavrolen petrochemical plant.
The plant has been repeatedly targeted by drones of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
It was struck on Nov. 12 and on Oct. 29, 2025, when a fire broke out at the site. Regional governor Vladimir Vladimirov confirmed the Oct. 29 attack, claiming “no significant damage”.
In November, Ukraine’s General Staff noted that Stavrolen conducts full-cycle hydrocarbon processing and produces polymers used in composite materials, casings, seals, and insulation for various types of Russian military equipment — including UAVs components.
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.
