A production facility was damaged at the large chemical plant KuibyshevAzot in the Samara region.
The KuibyshevAzot chemical plant in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast, suspended operations following an overnight attack. According to sources, the strike struck one of the plant's key facilities, damaging the dry ammonia plant.
All employees were quickly evacuated; there is no information about casualties.
On the night of March 30, Tolyatti residents reported a series of explosions near an industrial zone. Regional authorities confirmed the attack on the plant, noting that there were no casualties. Traffic was temporarily restricted near the plant, including along Novozavodskaya Street, from Obvodnoye Highway to 50 Years of October Boulevard.
KuibyshevAzot is one of Russia's largest chemical companies and a key producer of caprolactam and caprolactam-based products. The company is a leading producer of nitrogen fertilizers, and its shutdown could impact certain segments of industry and the agricultural sector.
Experts are assessing the impact and the potential resumption of operations. Emergency services continue to work at the site, inspecting the damage and assessing industrial safety.
