A drone has struck a pipe at the Karbolit chemical plant in Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Moscow Region, according to footage analysed by OSINT outlet ASTRA.

The strike damaged a metal platform attached to the pipe. The platform is used to maintain warning lights and telecommunications equipment installed on the structure.

There were no previous reports of attacks on the facility.

It remains unclear whether the damage was caused directly by the drone or by Russian air-defence activity, with the latter given as a possible explanation.
