Ukrainian defence forces struck a Russian plant that produces solid-fuel charges for Iskander-M ballistic missile engines on the night of 8-9 November, Ukraine's General Staff reported.
The Morozov Plant is located in the settlement of Imeni Morozova in Leningrad Oblast, near St Petersburg. According to the General Staff, the facility produces explosives and developed solid fuel for engines of the Topol-M missile system.
"For 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, the plant manufactures and supplies 9Kh820 solid-fuel engine charges," the General Staff said, noting that the plant is part of the Rostec State Corporation.
"On the night of 8-9 November, the defence forces of Ukraine intervened in this biography. Units struck the plant and damaged three production workshops simultaneously," the statement said, adding that the extent of the damage is still being clarified.
The Telegram channel Exilenova+ also reported the strike on the Morozov Plant and published a satellite image marking the facility's location in Leningrad Oblast. Damage to three production workshops at the plant had earlier been reported by the OSINT project Absolutely Reliable Source.
OSINT analysts also said the Kinef oil refinery in the town of Kirishi, in the same region, was struck on the same night. According to their information, a fire broke out at two primary oil refining units, the 1/2 atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit and the 1/2 atmospheric distillation unit, and two cooling water units were also damaged.
Ukrainska Pravda previously reported, citing information from Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, that the Morozov Plant is one of the producers of solid-fuel charges for Iskander engines. As of December 2025, the plant was included in a list of component manufacturers for these missiles that were not subject to sanctions by the sanctions coalition countries.
