Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces reported Saturday they attacked the 'Krimski Titan' plant in Armiansk, Crimea, a facility supplying titanium dioxide and sulfuric acid for Russian military production. The head of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, known as 'Magiar,' stated on Facebook that objective control confirmed damage, a fire, and production suspension.

Local social media posts cited by Brovdi suggested the entire plant was destroyed, with 23 attacks causing damage to all buildings and leading to an evacuation. The 'Krimski Titan' plant is described as Eastern Europe's largest chemical facility.

The plant supplies the Russian military with titanium dioxide for protective and camouflage coatings on military equipment. It also produces sulfuric acid, a key raw material for manufacturing gunpowder, rocket fuel, and explosives.
