Russian ballistic missiles destroy Naftogaz facility in Poltava Oblast

Russian forces used ballistic missiles to destroy a Naftogaz facility in Poltava Oblast overnight on September 22, causing critical damage that makes restoration and operation impossible. Naftogaz reported at least five missiles hit technological objects that had been idle since 2022 and had already sustained dozens of Russian attacks. The company stated the strike caused critical destruction preventing any future functioning. The attack occurred during a broader Russian assault involving missiles and 212 drones targeting Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, and Poltava oblasts, with air defense intercepting most threats but not preventing all impacts.
