According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook.

“In particular, the strike on the plant’s central gas fractionation unit has been confirmed,” the General Staff noted.

The General Staff noted that the central gas fractionation unit has a capacity to process approximately 6.6 million metric tons of raw materials per year. The unit is a key component of the production complex of one of the largest petrochemical enterprises in the Russian Federation and Europe.

“The plant produces raw materials that are critically important to the Russian military-industrial complex. Among other things, these include butadiene, isobutylene, maleic anhydride, and MTBE (a high-octane oxygenate). These products are used in the production of rocket fuel components, aviation fuel, composite materials for UAVs, and high-octane gasoline,” the General Staff emphasized.
