Ukrainian drones struck a key gas fractionation unit at ZapSibNeftekhim in Tobolsk, Tyumen Oblast, for the first time. The operation was carried out by Deep Strike units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces together with the local rebel movement Black Spark. The drones covered a record distance of over 2,200 kilometers from the state border. The strike hit the central gas fractionation unit of the plant, which is part of the SIBUR holding. The unit has a capacity of about 6.6 million tons of feedstock per year, and the plant produces about 2.5 million tons of base polymers annually. The strikes caused a large fire and significant damage to production units. The plant produces raw materials (butadiene, isobutylene, MTBE) used in Russia's defense industry, including components for rocket and aviation fuel and composite materials for UAVs. The operation is one of the deepest and most technologically complex attacks on the enemy's military-economic potential during the full-scale conflict. The data is cited from the Ukrainian General Staff and independent OSINT analysis.
