01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian chemical plant in the city of Novomoskovsk, Tula Oblast, this evening, according to a single source. No details are yet available on the extent of damage, casualties, or the type of weapon used.

The attack comes amid a series of Ukrainian long-range strikes deep into Russian territory in recent days. On June 12-13, Ukraine hit the Titan Crimea chemical plant in Armyansk twice within hours, as The Zioneer reported — the first a broad attack hitting 23 target points, the second an overnight follow-up. Earlier this week, Ukrainian drones struck oil refineries in Tatarstan, a fuel storage facility in Yaroslavl, and a rubber plant in Samara Oblast.

Novomoskovsk lies in Tula Oblast, approximately 200 km south of Moscow. The city hosts several industrial facilities, including chemical production. The target's precise role or military relevance has not been specified in available reports, and the strike has not yet been independently confirmed.
