The plant manufactures products for the needs of the Russian occupation army and its military-industrial complex, including butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), aviation gasoline, and synthetic polymers.

“As a result of the strike on the enemy petrochemical enterprise, a fire broke out on the territory of the workshop for the production of agidol, an additive to aviation fuel,” the DIU said.

Yesterday afternoon, social media reported a drone attack on the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant, located in Bashkortostan, about 1,300 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

A video shot by an eyewitness captured the moment immediately after the attack. The footage showed smoke on the territory of the enterprise.

The author himself says in the voiceover that the drones attacked the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant again.

This is the second strike on the plant since the beginning of the week, the previous one took place on November 4. Back then, local authorities reported that the water treatment plant was partially destroyed.

The company is part of the Russian chemical holding Roskhim. It specializes in the production of rubbers, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and aviation gasoline.
