TL;DR

Ukrainian drones struck the Novomoskovskaya GRES power plant in Russia's Tula Oblast, according to Russian monitoring channels. The attack also reportedly hit the Novomoskovsk Azot ammonia plant. Damage and casualties are not yet reported.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian one-way attack drones hit a major power plant and a chemical facility in Novomoskovsk, Tula Oblast, overnight, according to Russian monitoring channels. The Novomoskovskaya GRES power station and the Novomoskovsk Azot ammonia plant were both struck, with footage showing a drone impact at the ammonia facility.

The attack follows a prior Ukrainian strike on a different chemical plant in the same city on June 14 — a chemical plant — as reported by Russian sources at the time. The repeated targeting of industrial infrastructure in Tula Oblast, which hosts defense-linked production, fits a broader pattern of Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian military and energy facilities this month. The full extent of damage and any casualties remain unconfirmed.
