According to UNN's sources, first, the SBU drones overwhelmed the Russian air defense system that was protecting the plant. This created a “window of opportunity” for Ukrainian missiles, which the SBU and the Navy jointly practiced in the next stage.

The ELOU-AVT-2.5 unit, which is designed to produce liquefied petroleum gases, was also damaged.
