The facility produces explosives and other munitions against Ukraine, including artillery shells.
Drones operated by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), Special Operations Forces(SSO), and Defense Intelligence(HUR) attacked the Sverdlov Plant at Dzerzhinsk in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast (Russia) on the night of October 20. This was reported by several Ukrainian media outlets, citing Ukrainian intelligence services.
This attack is part a larger pattern of intensified Ukrainian strikes against Russian fuel and military facilities this year. These operations have disrupted vital supplies for the Russian military to continue its aggression against Ukraine.
The EU and US have imposed sanctions on the Sverdlov Plant. It is a key component in Russia’s military industrial complex. The facility manufactures explosives and aerial bombs including precision-guided munitions, as well as warheads and anti-tank guided rockets. These are the weapons that have been used to bombard Ukrainian cities and civilians during the war. The plant is approximately 900 km from the Ukrainian border.
