In order to reduce the enemy’s capacity to produce explosives, on the night of December 15 the Defense Forces of Ukraine successfully struck a strategic enemy facility — the Astrakhan Gas Processing Plant.
This was reported on December 15 by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“The Astrakhan GPP is one of the key enterprises of Russia’s oil and gas industry. The plant, in particular, produces up to 3.5 million tons of sulfur annually. Sulfur is used by enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex to manufacture explosives.
Explosions were recorded on the territory of the plant, and a large fire broke out. The extent of the damage is being clarified.
The Defense Forces will continue to take measures to undermine the offensive potential of the Russian invaders and force the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine. To be continued! Glory to Ukraine!” — the General Staff said.
The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that they carried out the strike on the Astrakhan GPP jointly.
The SOF, together with the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, struck the Astrakhan GPP.
“The Astrakhan GPP processes natural gas and gas condensate into gasoline, diesel fuel, and fuel oil, which are subsequently used for military purposes”, — the SOF reported.
