Ukrainian
forces struck two chemical plants in Russia, military targets in Taganrog and a
target in the Black Sea, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sept. 12.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s Defense Forces attacked targets in
Russia’s Perm and Samara regions over the past day.
He said Ukraine’s SBU Security Service struck an FPV drone
production facility, a tank containing petroleum products, a radar station and
a Pantsir-S2 surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft gun system in Taganrog.
Zelenskyy also reported a strike on a target in the Black
Sea but did not provide further details.
Zelenskyy also said the results of earlier strikes had been
confirmed. He said a Su-33 aircraft and two Mi-8 helicopters were destroyed in
Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast, while an oil facility was hit in Perm.
Ukraine’s General Staff said the Defense Forces struck the
Tolyattikauchuk plant in Tolyatti, Russia’s Samara Oblast.
Explosions
were also reported in Russia’s Taganrog overnight. OSINT analysts reported
that a military airfield may have been the target of the drone attack.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
