CBRN event in Russian Federation on Mon 29th June 2026

Ukrainian partisan movement ATESH has disabled energy and railway infrastructure near the Novomoskovsk Azot chemical plant in Tula Oblast, the group said. Agents destroyed a power distribution cabinet supplying the plant and burned a railway relay box on a rail line connected to the facility, causing logistical disruptions and delivery delays.

The Azot plant in Novomoskovsk is part of the EuroChem holding and is Russia's largest producer of ammonia and nitrogen fertilizers, manufacturing ammonia, nitric acid, methanol, and mineral fertilizers, as well as chemical raw materials used in the production of explosives and ammunition, per Obozrevatel. The plant's products are supplied to the Sverdlov State Plant in Nizhny Novgorod, where they are used to produce military-grade explosives, including HMX and RDX, which are the key components in artillery shells, according to UNITED 24.
