Several Ukrainian drones struck a plant in Russia’s Tyumen region on Monday, Governor Alexander Moor confirmed.

Moor did not specify which plant was hit. No deaths or injuries have been reported.

The Ukrainian Telegram channels Supernova+ and Exilenova+ claimed that the strike targeted the ZapSibNeftekhim petrochemical complex, a Sibur subsidiary.

Witnesses in one video say the strike hit a central gas-fractionation unit at Sibur Tobolsk, a ZapSibNeftekhim subsidiary.

Tobolsk lies more than 2,200 kilometers (1,370 miles) from the border with Ukraine, as the crow flies.

Update: The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said that Ukrainian troops had struck the Tobolskneftekhim petrochemical plant — part of the ZapSibNeftekhim complex cited above — in the Tyumen region, damaging the plant’s central gas-fractionation unit.

Ukrainian drones had also struck Nizhnekamsk earlier that day, killing 13 people and injuring dozens of others. Reports also emerged of a fire at an oil refinery in the city — possibly the Nizhnekamskneftekhim plant.
