Multiple drones targeted Russian territory overnight on June 14, with the Novomoskovsk chemical plant "Azot" in the Tula region being hit and catching fire, according to monitoring channels and local officials. Tula Governor Dmitry Milyaev confirmed that drone debris fell onto an industrial site.

"Azot" is one of Russia's largest chemical enterprises, primarily producing mineral fertilizers, ammonia, nitric acid, methanol, and other chemical materials. It also supplies raw materials to military factories for the production of explosives and ammunition.

Additionally, explosions were reported in the Smolensk region, likely targeting railway infrastructure in the city of Vyazma. In Oryol, a multi-story residential building caught fire. Prior to this, drones attacked a maritime terminal in the Temryuk district of Krasnodar Krai.
