Quote: "As part of efforts to reduce the enemy's offensive potential and its ability to conduct missile and bomb attacks, on the night of 3-4 December, units of Ukraine's defence forces struck one of the aggressor's largest chemical plants – Nevinnomyssk Azot in Russia's Stavropol Krai."

Details: One of the production workshops was hit, and a fire was recorded at the facility.

The military said that the plant is a critically important element of the Russian military-industrial complex, with a capacity of over 1 million tonnes of ammonia and up to 1.4 million tonnes of ammonium nitrate per year, making it one of the key suppliers of basic components for explosives and ammunition production. The facility constantly supplies a number of companies within Russia's military-industrial complex and functions as a chemical hub in the system of technical support for combat operations.

The General Staff also confirmed the results of a 4 December strike on a Russian troop concentration at a training ground near the town of Dokuchaievsk (temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk Oblast). Confirmed Russian losses amounted to 60 servicemen killed and wounded.

Quote: "The defence forces continue to take all necessary measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to cease its armed aggression against Ukraine."
