On the night of October 22, the Defense Forces attacked a number of strategic facilities in Russian regions, in particular, they managed to hit the Saransk Mechanical Plant and the Makhachkala Oil Refinery.
This was reported by the press service of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As noted, Ukrainian units carried out strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation as part of reducing the enemy’s military and economic potential.
Thus, as a result of the attack on the Saransk Mechanical Plant in the Republic of Mordovia, explosions were heard.
The General Staff explained that the enterprise manufactures anti-personnel engineering ammunition and mining kits, ammunition detonators, and initiation units.
Instead, as a result of the attack on the Makhachkala oil refinery in Dagestan, one of the processing units on the territory of the enterprise was hit.
The refinery supplies and stores fuel for the Caspian Fleet’s naval base. In addition, the plant refuels Russian military vessels.
According to the General Staff, the annual processing volume is up to a million tons.
The extent of the damage caused by the attacks is currently being determined.
“The defense forces continue to take all measures to undermine the military-economic potential of the Russian aggressor and force the Russian Federation to cease armed aggression against Ukraine,” the press service summarized.
Earlier it became known that a drone attack was recorded over the territory of Dagestan at night, as a result of which one of the industrial facilities in Makhachkala was hit.
As a reminder, the first explosions in Mordovia occurred around 3 a.m .; local eyewitnesses released footage showing UAVs hitting the territory of the Saransk Mechanical Plant and a large mushroom-shaped column of flame rising above it.
