Ukraine attacked Russian steel plant with drones, causing large fire: Source

Ukrainian drones hit a major Russian steel factory overnight, causing a large fire, a Kyiv source said on Saturday, on the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The governor of Russia’s Lipetsk region identified the plant as one in the city of Lipetsk, some 400 km (250 miles) north of the Ukrainian border, that is responsible for about 18 percent of Russian steel output.

He said a fire apparently caused by a drone strike had been extinguished at the plant, operated by Russian steelmaker Novolipetsk (NLMK), and there had been no casualties.

The Ukrainian source told Reuters the attack, a joint operation by GUR military intelligence and the SBU security service, had caused a major fire and staff had been evacuated.

“Raw materials from this enterprise are used to manufacture Russian missiles, artillery, drones. Therefore, it is a legitimate goal for Ukraine,” the source said, without specifying the location of the plant.

Russia is never going to leave.
Ukraine is never going to win.

What would this have accomplished for Ukraine’s war effort? Was this steel plant a part of a supply line for Russia’s invading army?

How does it feel trying to carry Joe Biden’s foreign policy around?

Thanks for posting this.

You all can hate Putin all you want, but DAAAMMMNNN the respect he has for his country.

The Russian heroes who fought against the Nazis in WW2 truly saved the world. God bless all of them.

You’ll never see a photo of Zelensky or Brandon standing in the pouring rain without an umbrella.

Only a soldier knows how to respect a soldier.

I doubt a drone with a 3 lb. warhead did this:

Saudi news posted via Dubai and Reuters stringer picks it up. You travel far to get your Brandon CIA-intelligence propaganda war porn. Who pays you to post this crap here?

Well, that’s a silly post of yours. Every major news org. out there that’s not a Russian tool has or had a report of this strike. The leaning pro-Russians minimize it like usual (black knight in Monty Python style), the strongly pro-Ukrainian would have us thinking 2/3 the plant is gone. The truth is somewhere in-between — steel plants are so massive that hit in critical areas, a couple large drones might be able to ding it significantly, but to really do massive destruction as a big % of the plant you likely need a squadron of B-52’s...
