The Ukrainian Defense Forces have struck again at a Russian solid rocket fuel production facility in the Rostov region.

The reports of a huge column of smoke rising from the outskirts of the town of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky began to appear in the local media around 2 p.m.

One of the photos published by the Rostov Glavnyi Telegram channel made it clear to determine the angle and location of the shooting.

Previous strikes

On December 18, a missile strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the buildings of the Russian enterprise Kamensky Combine in the Rostov region.

Analysts from the CyberBoroshno group released a satellite image showing that two buildings at the company’s production site were critically damaged. It is not yet known what function they had performed.

Analysts also noted that many other buildings at the plant had been protected by nets, presumably from drone strikes.

The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation also stated that ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles had allegedly been used.

In total, at least 10 missiles were used, which were attempted to be shot down by Russian air defense, but satellite images show that at least some of them reached their targets.
