Details: Meanwhile, videos circulating on social media appear to show a strike [contains explicit language – ed.].

Analysts from CyberBoroshno report a hit on the ammonia production facilities of the Cherepovets-Azot plant on the afternoon of 13 April.

Based on footage published online, black smoke can be seen rising from two (Ammonia-1 marked in yellow and Ammonia-2 marked in blue) of the three ammonia workshops, which have a combined capacity of 900,000 tonnes per year, the OSINT group said.

There are also reports of a possible strike on an ammonia storage facility (marked in red), which had been additionally protected with a special metal structure after the start of the full-scale invasion to guard against drone attacks.

The affected facility accounts for around 6% of Russia's ammonia production, while the plant as a whole produces about 10% of the country's total ammonia output, CyberBoroshno said.
