Ukraine says it struck Russian missile fuel plant near St Petersburg
- On November 9, 2026, Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Morozov Plant near Petersburg in Russia's Leningrad Oblast, damaging three production workshops at the facility.
- This Rostec-linked enterprise manufactures solid-propellant charges for the engines of Russia's Iskander-M ballistic missiles, serving as a key link supplying the Russian army with weaponry used against Ukrainian cities.
- The facility has developed solid rocket fuel for engines of Russia's Topol-M missile systems. "The enterprise has also developed solid rocket fuel for the engines of Russia's Topol-M missile systems, underscoring its role in the country," The General Staff stated.
- Disrupting the missile supply chain at its earliest stage, the strike makes it more difficult for Russia to produce missiles for its systems used against Ukrainian cities, The General Staff reported.
- Russia continues to rely on Iskander-M systems with an operational range of approximately 500 kilometers to conduct attacks against Ukraine. Moscow has also deployed newer Iskander-1000 variants against Kyiv.
