Several industrial facilities in the Russian city of Tolyatti were damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack on Saturday, 24 October, local authorities said. Ukraine's General Staff, the command body of its armed forces, said the target was the Tolyattikauchuk petrochemical plant, one of Russia's largest producers of synthetic rubber. The strike is part of the continuing exchange of attacks in the war between the two countries.
