On the night of August 30, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) carried out an attack on an underground explosives’ storage facility located at PJSC Aleksin Chemical Plant in the city of Aleksin, Tula region, Russia.
According to Ukrinform, which cites a source in Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the fortified warehouse contained pyroxylin-based smokeless powder—used in ammunition for small arms, artillery systems, and certain rocket engines, among other materials.
Local social media channels reported hearing loud explosions, followed by the arrival of fire trucks and ambulances at the scene.
The HUR stated that efforts to neutralize the enemy’s military-industrial complex will continue across the territory of Russia and beyond.
As previously reported by Ukrinform, a drone operated by Ukraine’s military intelligence struck a Russian vessel carrying Kalibr cruise missiles in the Sea of Azov.
