In Tatarstan, a fire broke out at a petrochemical plant and an oil refinery following the attack on the night of Nov. 15. The Nizhnekamskneftekhim (NKNK) petrochemical complex, owned by leading Russian company Sibur, was reportedly hit by Ukrainian drones, causing a fire.
The city of Nizhnekamsk, home to about 240,000 people, is often referred to as the “petrochemical capital” of Tatarstan. The complex, located southeast of Moscow about 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from Ukraine’s border, is one of Russia’s largest oil refining and petrochemical facilities.
A residential building was also damaged in the attack, according to local authorities. The strikes caused significant disruption to Russia’s petrochemical and oil refining capabilities.
