"One of the FP-5 missiles completely destroyed a 20x15-m section of the main workshop," Exilenova+ stated.
The use of the Flamingo missile was confirmed by its manufacturer Fire Point. According to the company, the FP-5 completely destroyed an annex building.

The Volgogradpromproekt plant specialises in speciality chemicals, producing organophosphorus compounds, flame retardants, resins and other chemical components for industry. Its products are used in Russia's aviation and shipbuilding industries and the defence industrial base.
The plant produces ferrocene-containing combustion catalysts and develops chemical production technologies.
