A chemical facility identified by local monitors as the Selena Chemical Plant in Shebekino, in Russia’s Belgorod region, caught fire on 4 July after what multiple open-source accounts described as a Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike. Images circulating from the scene showed thick black smoke billowing above the plant. There were no immediate reports of casualties or official confirmation from Russian authorities at the time of the incident, and the extent of damage to the installation remains unclear. The attack is the latest in a series of cross-border drone operations attributed to Ukraine that have targeted infrastructure in Russia’s western regions since the start of the war.
