This is not the first attack on the Tambov Powder Plant, which is one of the main suppliers of explosives for the Russian army.
The information was shared on Telegram by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
"The Tambov Powder Plant of the Russian Federation has been attacked before. It is one of the key facilities of the Russian defense industry involved in the war against Ukraine," reported Andrei Kovalenko.
It is reported that the plant manufactures powder used for various types of small arms, artillery, and rocket systems.
For example, collodion, which is used in the production of explosives and other specialized products.
"The enterprise is one of the main suppliers of explosives for the Russian army. Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, production at the plant has significantly increased," Kovalenko stated.
Russian media reported that drones attacked the Tambov region at night, with locals noting explosions in the city of Kotovsk, where the powder plant is located.
