According to our sources, the drone strike on the metallurgical plant in Novolipetsk was organised by two Ukrainian special services: The SBU and the GUR.
This was reported by Censor.NET.
"This is one of the largest steel plants in Russia. It works for the Russian military-industrial complex and fulfills a large number of government orders. Raw materials from this enterprise are used to manufacture Russian missiles, artillery, drones, etc. Therefore, it is a legitimate target for Ukraine," the source said.
After the powerful explosions at the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, a large-scale fire broke out and all plant personnel were evacuated. According to the Ukrainian security services, SSU, and DIU drones targeted installations designed for primary cooling of untreated coke oven gas. According to the sources, the destruction of these facilities will lead to the shutdown of the entire production process of the metallurgical plant for a long time.
By the way, the owner of the affected plant is a Russian oligarch close to Putin, Vladimir Lisin. According to Forbes, he is one of the three richest people in Russia.
According to media reports, until recently, the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant produced raw materials for Russian companies involved in nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
As reported, last night there was a fire in one of the shops at Novolipetsk Steel (Russia). Before that, a series of explosions were heard in Lipetsk.
