Roads around the chemical plant were closed to traffic.
Background:
- In late 2024, Reuters reported that since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, five large Russian chemical companies had supplied more than 75% of the key chemicals delivered by rail to factories producing explosives and gunpowder.
- The firms in question were EuroChem, UralChem, UGMK, Lukoil and Evraz, which are linked to well-known Russian billionaires such as Roman Abramovich, Vagit Alekperov and Dmitry Mazepin.
