Two industry sources said Salavat petrochemical plant in Russia’s Ural region
halted operations after a July 14 Ukrainian drone strike. The regional governor
confirmed the attack and said normal production is expected to resume within
days, but sources said two main crude distillation units and several secondary
units were damaged and taken offline. Affected units include CDU-6 (17,140 t/day
crude distillation) and CDU-4 (11,430 t/day including crude and condensate).
Repair work could take weeks to months.
