One more explosion recorded at Russia’s Aleksin Chemical Plant – source

A well-informed source in Ukraine's SBU State Security Service td this to Ukrinform.

"At 13:10, an additional explosion was recorded at an object hit by SBU and Special erations Forces drones — chemicals were ignited due to previous hits. The plant's erations were halted, and the personnel were evacuated," the source said.

The SBU specified that at least 13 drones hit the chemical plant overnight. Due to the release of acids, toxic orange smoke spewed from the key target — the gunpowder factory.
