Ukraine strikes St. Petersburg plant producing missile fuel, General Staff says

Ukraine’s General Staff says its forces struck the Morozov plant near St Petersburg overnight, damaging three workshops that make solid fuel for Iskander-M ballistic missiles. If confirmed, the attack could disrupt an early stage of Russian missile production as Russia continues to use ballistic missiles against Ukrainian cities.

The General Staff said the damage is still being assessed and described the plant as a key supplier to Russia’s military; it also makes explosives and has worked on propellants for Topol-M missiles. The plant is part of state-owned Rostec and has been sanctioned by Ukraine. Russia’s Defence Ministry did not comment, and the report says the claim could not be independently verified. A separate drone attack struck the Kirishi oil refinery in Leningrad Oblast, its regional governor confirmed.
