SBU drone strikes halt production at Alchevsk steel plant in occupied Luhansk region
Officers of the SBU’s Main Directorate in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, together with comrades from the first Separate Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, have struck Alchevsk iron and steel works for the second time in a month – one of the key industrial facilities used by the occupiers to support their military production.
The plant’s products are supplied to Russia’s Uralvagonzavod, where military equipment for the Russian army is manufactured, including T-90M Proryv tanks and Msta-S howitzers.
According to the SBU on Telegram on Saturday, after identifying the location of the plant’s critical production facilities, drone strikes were carried out using FP-2 drones made by Fire Point.
As a result of the strike, blast furnaces, key production workshops, distillation columns, gas pipelines and electrical substations supporting the plant’s operations were damaged. Due to the damage inflicted, the plant has suspended operations.
