Drones hit Tatarstan's Nizhnekamskneftekhim, one of Russia's largest petrochemical plants

Drones attacked the city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan overnight on November 15, sparking a fire at one of Russia's largest petrochemical plants, Nizhnekamskneftekhim, according to preliminary reports. The attack reportedly continued after the initial strike, with witnesses capturing video of the blaze. Russian authorities have not yet released official information about the consequences, and the plant, part of the Sibur holding, produces synthetic rubbers and plastics. The facility produced 3 million tons of petrochemical products in 2025. The strikes are part of an ongoing campaign against Russian oil infrastructure since late October, including recent attacks on the Volgograd refinery and five other major plants.
