Ukraine's drone attack at Russia's industrial facilities
In addition, forces struck two cargo vessels overnight in the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, according to the Interfax news agency. The attack was in response to a Ukrainian drone attack that targeted industrial facilities in Russia’s Samara region. In response, Ukraine’s General Staff claimed on Saturday (September 12) that one of the drones targeted the Togliattikauchuk plant, used for the production of synthetic rubbers and fuel additives that are utilised in fuel for Russian missiles.
Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry said its forces shot down 230 Ukrainian drones overnight across more than a dozen Russian regions, as well as over Crimea and the Azov and Black seas. Ilya Sukhikh, mayor of Togliatti in the Samara region, said several residential buildings sustained damage and one person was injured.
